Citizen Wong

Richard Chang's play offers a fictionalized portrait of the real-life journalist and activist Wong Chin Foo, who championed the rights of Chinese Americans in the late 19th century. Ernest Abuba and Chongren Fan direct the world premiere for Pan Asian Repertory Theatre. Other Gilded Age historical figures, such as the anti-Chinese labor leader Denis Kearney and the socialite and suffragette Alva Vanderbilt, are woven into the fabric of the story.
