The Chinese Lady tells the story of fourteen-year-old Afong Moy as she’s brought to the United States from Guangzhou Province in 1834. Allegedly the first Chinese woman to set foot on U.S. soil, she has been put on display for the American public as “The Chinese Lady.”
For the next half-century, she performs for curious white people, showing them how she eats, what she wears, and the highlight of the event: how she walks with bound feet. As the decades wear on, her celebrated sideshow comes to define and challenge her very sense of identity.

Love to experience theater again. This pandemic slammed the doors on the arts.
I love theater.
I miss live theatre! I would love to go!
Yes, please. When I go see this, I will be on display with her.
I haven’t been to artist’s rep since elf chronicles, but it wasn’t sedaris doing it which was disappointing but nonetheless enjoyable. I read the synopsis of this play, Chinese lady, and for some odd reason I just really feel pulled to want to see it. I hope it’s as good as it sounds!
I love to support live theater!
Sounds like a very intriguing premise, I’d love to be able to see this and get to experience live theater again.
Sounds like an incredible story. I welcome the opportunity to get out and be with others sharing in the experience.
I would very much love to take my Chinese American sister in law with me to this.

We would love a chance to go see live theatre!
My friend’s grandpa was a paper son. I’d love to take him to this show.

ART live!
I want to win tickets as I love live theatre, and being of Chinese heritage, I’m curious to see an artistic telling of how my ancestors adapted to life in America.
I would bring my daughter who’s taking Asian culture in school, if we win!
This looks amazing— we love shows at ART!!!
