Sang Dao has spent his life since immigrating as a toddler running his family’s Vietnamese and seafood shop. Now, it’s just him and his two grown daughters and there is an opportunity to sell the restaurant. Neither of the girls live close anymore and they gather for the anniversary of their younger brother’s death, the eldest daughter with plans to lock in the sale. Things get complicated when the weekend is disrupted by a racist act of graffiti, both raising the desire to move on and the ownership of their family home. When Sang Dao is visited by spectres of the past, he has to take a look at where they’ve been, where they’re going, and what home really means.

COVID-19 ATTENDANCE POLICY
The Wayward Artist is thrilled to return to live audiences. The safety of our artists and audiences is of paramount importance. To ensure everyone’s safety, we have updated our attendance policy. Vaccines and masks remain the most effective weapons against the pandemic. At the same time, individuals must make choices to protect their own health.

As of April 1, 2022, our policy has changed. Masks will no longer be required during live performances. However, we strongly encourage that mask remain in use. All of our performers and creative team are fully vaccinated against Covid-19. To attend performances, patrons must provide either proof of vaccination, a PCR test taken 48 hours prior to the event, or arrive 15 minutes early to take an onsite antigen test the day of the event. N95 masks will be available for all patrons. Covid-19 protocols will be in place to ensure the safety of all in attendance.

As we navigate through the changing conditions and adapt, we thank you for your love and support. We look forward to the day when Covid-19 and its variants are a thing of the past.

Enjoy the show!
