SHOW SYNOPSIS — “A musical about what to do when sh*t gets real.” Hmong memoirist and cancer survivor Mai See meets a young filmmaker named Quest, who is inspired to document Mai See’s story despite suffering from chronic cancer herself. When Mai See relapses, their unlikely friendship helps her understand the things in life that are worth keeping and the things worth letting go.
“As a cancer survivor and now finding my way as a thriver, I want to tell a story that highlights nuances most folks wouldn't normally see when dealing with cancer, as well as show as many varied cancering characters as I can. Also the question, ‘What does one need to move forward?’ has been pivotal in shaping this work,” Katie Ka Vang says.
AGAIN explores how to thrive with cancer from a Hmong American perspective. All characters are Hmong American, and songs range from rock to pop to ballads in this heartfelt, irreverent story.
Seeking:
Mai See, 39, Hmong American. She’s a cancer survivor and memoirist. Exhausted, stuck. (Mezzo Soprano)
