The Lion Dancer

By Alvin Chan

Description of Play:

Anson has a love-hate relationship with his Chinese heritage, not to mention his eccentric and demanding father. When his best friend Lani Jones talks him into entering the top lion dance competition, the secrets of Kung Fu, lion dancing, dodge ball and malasada consumption explode in a hilarious romp of a play exploring friendship, bullying and the courage it takes to be oneself.
