The Chinese Lady: Take Action

by TimeLine Theatre |

But if we take the time to really look at each other. To really look at each other. Then we might see, through all that vastness and variance, something true and real and wonderful.  — The Chinese Lady

Transformation takes time and requires purposeful and sustained action. Thank you for visiting this page in connection with our event “Setting the Stage: The Chinese Lady — Building a Bridge Toward Asian Visibility.” We invite you to find ways to engage with the Asian American community, during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and beyond. 

Our Partners

We wanted to take a moment to uplift our organization partners for Setting The Stage: The Chinese Lady—we’re so grateful for their efforts to promote this event, and to advance important causes in Chicago’s Asian-American communities.
