The Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre is proud to present its first original musical production RED LETTERS!

RED LETTERSis the moving story of Shen, an immigrant from China, who leaves his wife Mei to come to Canada seeking his fortune. Once established, he hopes to bring her over to join him. Harsh realities of life in Vancouver force Shen to take drastic action if he is ever to see his dreams fulfilled.

Set in the 1920’s, this musical tragedy revolves around a young Chinese couple who are separated by distance and torn apart by the head taxes on new immigrants, along with Canada’s imposition of the Exclusion Act of 1923. Red Letters is a story that humanizes what many Canadians may only see as a historical political policy. Entertaining yet educational, and with terrific songs that will stick in your head, this is a show not to be missed!
