POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Words cannot describe how much love I have for this production and everyone who brought it to life. ❤️‍🔥

Writing an original Asian and queer musical with Wren had already exceeded my wildest dreams. And getting to make it with this group of people has been the best experience of my theater life so far. ✨

Developing a new musical is a labor of love, and I have never felt more loved, challenged, inspired, or supported than I did over these past two months. Every rehearsal, every late-night production meeting, every shared meal, every backstage dance, every laugh, every hug, every quiet moment before places, I carry all of it so closely in my heart. 💌

At the very beginning of this process, Alex asked me what success would look like to me. One of my answers was: I want to build my community. I want to find my people.

I think I did.

Words also cannot describe how proud I am of us. Three full houses. Audiences who laughed, cried, and told us afterward how much they felt seen in the story. In just two months, we created something so much bigger than any one of us could have dreamed of.

To everyone who came to see the show, sent a message, recommended it to a friend, bought a digital ticket, or simply believed in this piece, thank you. Hearing how deeply this story resonated with you means more to me than I can ever express. That is exactly why I do what I do.

I’m still irrationally sad that we don’t have rehearsal this week. What do you mean we don’t get to do this again tomorrow? I wish we could just keep rehearsing every week and performing every weekend.

But this isn’t the end.

This is only the beginning of Wong Side of Time.

Making theatre with all of you has been my butterfly dream, and I never wanted to wake up.

Because us is what I choose. 🦋💖 taken in Classic Stage Company by @scarlett.long

I still can’t believe we’ve closed yet it all happened so fast. Part of me wishes it could go on forever. This cast, this crew, this team, and @chaintheatrenyc —they believed in this story’s unique voice, its quirky humor, its raw honesty, and its very frequent use of the word “finger”;)They brought it to life in ways that exceeded anything I could have imagined.
