Glamgical took some time to interview the director of The Chinese Lady, Shinshin Yuder Tsai.
“When I read the play, I was immediately struck by its lyricism, its quiet power, and the way it weaves history with poetry. I didn’t just read it—I felt it.”
“We’re in a time where conversations about immigration, race, and belonging are louder—and more urgent—than ever. The Chinese Lady gives us a chance to revisit the roots of those conversations through the story of someone who lived it first. It reminds us that the past isn’t just behind us—it’s living in our policies, our perceptions, and our people.”
“Her presence shaped how Americans viewed Chinese people—through a lens of curiosity, exoticism, and, often, misunderstanding.”
“her story is foundational. Bringing her voice forward feels like reclaiming something that was lost”
“The Chance is full of heart. There’s a genuine spirit of collaboration, kindness, and care here—not just for the work, but for each other. We don’t just make theater; we build community.”
“It’s not something we manufacture—it’s something we nurture.”
