"Be Like Water" World Premiere at East West Players Sept. 17, 2008

Sorry for not having blogged in awhile, but I've been very busy rehearsing our new show. It has been a true delight! I cannot say enough about our brilliant cast, who have their hands full with everything that is being asked of them for this production. But, they are truly talented and dedicated beyond my wishes, so I can only be thankful to be working with them all. It is going to be a great show! Come check it out if you are in Los Angeles this month, thru Oct. 12. Thanks!

Assistant Stage Manager LETITIA CHANG Stage Manager ONDINA V. DOMINGUEZChicago, 1978. Disco rules. Five years since the tragic death of legendary martial artist Bruce Lee. Tracy Fong is a 13-year old ass-kicking, gung-fu fanatic tomboy, challenged by school bullies, airhead rivals, and a mother who just wants her to be a "normal" girl. When bad goes to worse, the Ghost of Bruce Lee appears to teach her the true meaning of strength and the true power of water.
