Moving and fun, this show brought up a near-and-dear issue of appropriation and taking a look at the other side. This is exactly what "meta" is meant for! J.

A play about Vietnamese food? Of course it will have food! I wasn't sure what to expect with this one-woman show, and I was so glad I came. It's especially satisfying to listen to someone tell a wonderful story that is so close to home. Simple and engaging, with lots of wonderful stuff to try. ...

I was very impressed with this show! Doug Harvey seamlessly switches from one character to another with an ease and simplicity that very few actors can manage. The story captivated, and the message was beautiful. Direction and structure of the story was fantastic. Must be experienced!...

This show takes seeming caricatures of religious nuts and grounds them into real, complex characters who are reactions to their upbringing. The actors are solid, and the message is an unexpected, moving surprise....
