DEAR JOHN

DEAR JOHN is a solo show inspired by real life events.

In 2011, an estranged father, “John,” reaches out to a long lost daughter for the first time… on Facebook. When he begins writing her letters, she begins a journey of reckoning with a previously unknown past.

DEAR JOHN is the story of what happens when a man shows up to parent a child who hadn’t been looking for a father. Spanning three continents and four decades, the piece weaves together excerpts from the letters, a recorded interview with my single mother who left a changing China in the 80s, and stories from growing up as an immigrant kid in New York City.
