Mother of Exiles at New York Stage & Film's Fall Reading Series

It’s September in New York, and I’m getting ready to work with the New York Stage & Film Company again, this time as a part of their Fall Reading Series at Barnard College. On November 4th we will present a free public reading of my play Mother of Exiles. The play follows the Loi family’s journey through America across 200 years, as they are ushered along by the spirits of their ancestors. In 1898 California, a pregnant Eddie Loi faces deportation. In 1998 Miami, her grandson Braulio decides who stays and who goes. In 2098 somewhere on the ocean, their descendants sail toward a new country, fleeing climate crisis.
