East West Players, in partnership with Asian American Museum of Orange County, will present the Orange County premiere of “Tam Tran Goes to Washington” on Saturday, Oct. 4, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Mix Academy at Newsong Church, 1010 W. 17th St., Santa Ana.
Written by Elizabeth Wong and directed by Rona Par, the play is about Tam Tran (Stephanie Lee), a UCLA senior who usually prefers to stay behind the camera but finds herself thrust into the spotlight when her undocumented status draws her into the fight for the DREAM Act. With her fearless best friend Cinthya (Nina Santoyo) by her side, Tam’s quiet life changes overnight as she’s called to testify before Congress. Also starring Pauline Yasuda as Mom.
