I’m working on my first musical. It tells the stories of the Hong Kong democracy movement through the lives of five teenagers.

I’m a newcomer to theater. While at a 2023 artists’ residency in Spain to work on my book and printmaking, I became convinced that some of the Hong Kong democracy movement’s stories have to be told in a musical.

I’m writing the musical’s book, music, and lyrics. Tentatively titled “Dreaming Fire,” it was workshopped in the spring of 2024 at Central Works, the Berkeley-based theater dedicated to new works. I’ve also been a part of the Women’s Roundtable at New York-based Musical Theatre Factory, the nonprofit dedicated to developing theater artists and presenting new musicals. I was MTF’s Featured Artist for Women’s Roundtable in late 2023.

Directors, actors, theaters, producers: please get in touch if you’re interested in collaborating!
