Joanna Bridger & Marille Reataza

Co-Produced by Christina Chan, Pata Suyemoto, and Annemarie Matulis

WHEN: Thursday, April 25th, 6:30 pm ET

Stir Frying Mahjong was written in response to the 2011 legalization of gambling in Massachusetts and its effect on the Asian community. The play’s subject matter is more relevant than ever with the legalization of on-line gambling in 2022 in Massachusetts.

The driving question: What are the societal consequences, spills across multiple cultures. This platform will offer an opportunity for families to experience the play’s educational messaging around problem gambling through the experiences of another family.

Christina R Chan is a playwright, actor, and producer. Her writing explores the intersection of the Asian American experience, social justice, immigration, gambling addiction, and the high suicide rate among young AAPI females.

Christina’s play Stir Frying Mahjong is about a young female Chinese American TV chef who has a gambling addiction and a tiger mom. It was a workshopped at Company One Theater’s PlayLab Fellow and was a 2017 Eugene O’Neil National Theater Conference Semi-Finalist.
