Designers notes
This is the west coast premiere. Shark Fin Soup. Drunken Crab. Black Feather Chicken. Po Mama's Chinese cuisine evokes the joy of cooking and her son, Richie Po has the palette to prove it. When Po Mama dies and passes her secrets onto him, he reunites with Gloria B, a "Soul Food" chef in the making. Together they use Po Mama's TV cooking tapes to discover a deeper understanding of food, culture and the recipe for friendship. East West Players is “the nation’s pre-eminent Asian American theater troupe” (New York Times) for their award-winning productions blending Eastern and Western movement, costumes, language, and music. EWP has premiered over 100 plays and musicals about the Asian Pacific American experience and has held over 1,000 readings and workshops.
