WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Life takes the Lee family for a ride as author Tina Lee learns to navigate the ups and downs of roller coasters and her father's cancer. When Tina's father recommends a collection of "short sleeves" by Graham Greene, Tina thinks nothing of it. After all, word fumbles are part of the norm when you're raised by immigrants. Only when a medical check-up reveals cancer does Tina realize she's in for a big ride. How to Ride Roller Coasters is an exploration of memory, love, and the US health care system. Part of the Midtown International Theatre Festival.
