In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson
OCTOBER 15, 2022 – OCTOBER 22, 2022
Based on the book by Bette Bao Lord
Adapted for the stage by Mark Branner
Adapted from the award-winning novel, this play tells the touching story of a young Chinese American girl and her family moving from China to the United States in 1947. Using humor and a rich multimedia staging, the play celebrates the bravery and sacrifice of those who bring new perspectives to our country. Best for ages 7+.
“The story of a Chinese girl coming to New York City in the 1940’s is full of humor, struggle, and, ultimately, fulfillment as Shirley discovers the secret joy of living between two worlds.”
– Janet Stanford, Imagination Stage Founding Artistic Director
