SecondChancesForGrace
From Hong Kong to Hollywood: One Woman’s Inspirational Journey in
Second Chances For Grace. Morphing in and out of a multitude of characters,
writer-actress Kiki Yeung takes you through a day in the life of a Hong Kongborn immigrant who's trying to become an actress in America. Given the
current conversation about diversity in Hollywood, Yeung's timing couldn't be
any better. Her one-woman production Second Chances For Grace combines
comedy, drama, multimedia and song. Watch and be inspired as she offers
real-talk -- and no small amount of "Chinglish" -- addressing determination,
healing and dream-chasing. This event features some mature content.
The show will be performed in two parts: Part 1: June 25 & June 26 Part 2:
June 29, June 30 & July 2
Opening Acts Include: June 25 & July 2: Christiana
Calumpit, #WhoAmI Being a third Generation Filipino-American is a little
tough when trying to get in touch with your roots, especially being in a
military family who travels every three years. #WhoAmI is based upon
Christiana’s childhood as a military child and starting to figure out her cultural
identity. A solo performance directed by Kiki Yeung.
June 26: Isak Allen Stand-up comedian who has opened for Dat Phan and
Pauly Shore.
June 29 & June 30: Paul Shinobi’s Eight Ball Army Hard rock band
featuring guitarist Jeff Mach.
