Performances
A Special Performance of: "Paper Son"
Matinee Show at 2 p.m. / Evening Show at 6 p.m.
Tickets: $20/members $25/non-members
Celebrate the Seventh Anniversary of CAM with the West Coast return of Paper Son, a critically-acclaimed autobiographical solo show by writer/performer Byron Yee. Presented in partnership with community co-sponsors, the Japanese American National Museum and Visual Communications, Paper Son explores the issues of identity, immigration and personal heritage in the story of Oklahoma-native Byron Yee, who moves to California to start a career in stand-up comedy. A disastrous movie audition for the role of a stereotypical Pidgin-English-speaking Chinese restaurant owner compels Yee to confront his long-ignored heritage, where he soon discovers that his own father was a paper son.
Awarded “Outstanding Solo Show” at the 2007 New York International Fringe Festival and winner of the “Best Of Fringe Award” at the San Francisco Fringe Festival, Paper Son is a show not to be missed!
Tickets maybe purchased online at www.camla.org or by calling 213-485-8484. Purchase your tickets in advance, limited seating available.
