DESCRIPTION:

A SLICE OF RICE, FRIJOLES AND GREENS is a humorous and poignant mix of stories that give vivid insights into the Asian, Latino and African American experience. Using theater (and music), three or more artists open windows into their own worlds through personal tales. Though each slice may be different, "rice, frijoles, and greens" makes a statement that entertains as it enlightens, taking audiences beyond cultural borders.

FEATURED ARTISTS:

PAULINA SAHAGUN performs excerpts from "Nahuatl - Now What?" her Hi-Tech Aztec-in-Gringolandia Self-help Extravaganza. From the Mercado in Guadalajara to bad-hair days in L.A., there is only one question: Does she know how to make tortillas?

DAN KWONG performs "All For One and One For All" and "Song for Grandpa", stories of growing up in Los Angeles in a Model Minority family gone haywire.

CHIC STREET MAN, singer/songwriter and blues guitarist, brings it all home with his acoustic ballads, funky rhythms and jazzy upbeat originals...

Other possible artists include: Shishir Kurup, Louise Mita, Nobuko Miyamoto, Bob Devin Jones, Sybil Desta, Michele Serros, Arlene Malinowski, and many more!
