Standing Proud

"A Walk to School" features Connie, Sheila, and Jason getting ready for the first day of their sophomore year. They have three different ethnic backgrounds, exist in three different time periods, and yet are faced with an eerily similar experience on their individual walks to school. We see how each of them are forced to grow up too fast in worlds where history repeats itself while being shown how powerful human connection and experiences can be. "A Walk to School" was the third play in "Standing Proud: A Collection of Our Asian Voices," a Devised-Ethnographic Theatre Production focused on amplifying Asian Voices. The stories we feature come directly from the hearts & minds of the cast. From our childhood memories to familial stories to what we have witnessed in the news: we have integrated these experiences rooted in identity into a piece that, to us, authentically encompasses aspects of what it is like to be Asian living in America. Check out the other pieces on our YouTube account! This cast includes Brandon Ah Tye, Manya Dhupar, and Christina Leilani Campbell.
