FINAL LOS ANGELES APPEARANCE OF "DRAGON"
Back by popular demand, the smash hit, three-man show, EXIT THE
DRAGON, returns to East West Players for two weeks only. This will be the
final Los Angeles area appearance. The show will then continue on a
national college tour. Stops include Harvard University and University of
Pennsylvania.
EXIT THE DRAGON centers around three struggling actors coming to
terms with themselves and their identity. It takes an insightful and
often humorous look at the stereotypes, insecurities, and viewpoints
facing young Asian-American men today, as well as problems and attitudes
among the Twenty-Something Generation.
Eric Michael Zee (Peter Chow on DR. QUINN, MEDICINE WOMAN) plays
Dave Woo, a drama school graduate who is in denial of his heritage. Tuan
Tran (featured in Oliver Stone's, HEAVEN AND EARTH) is Vien Vu, a
Vietnamese Immigrant who idolizes Bruce Lee. And Kipp Shiotani (J.A.G.,
SAVAGE BOYS) stars as Jun-Li Chow, a militantly pro-Asian womanizing law
grad.
The LA WEEKLY says the show is "cleverly ironic-entertaining
evening," and DRAMALOGUE calls it "...a genuine ensemble effort that
pleases its audience."
Tickets for general admission are $15, students with valid id are
$12. Groups of ten or more are $13 and $10. Performances are Wednesday
thru Saturday, October 14 - 17, 21-24. All showtimes 8:00pm. For
reservations please call East West Players at (213) 625-7000.
