East West Players - "Be Like Water" closes this weekend!

East West Player's world premiere of Dan Kwong's Be Like Water closes this weekend. If you haven't seen it yet, I encourage you to go. I saw it and it's a very moving story that I connected to on multiple levels--from being taunted, pressure to fit in, dealing with racism, ... but, it's also told with humor and insight (the two Bruce Lees were hilarious!).

The play is drawn from Kwong's personal experiences and the impact that Bruce Lee had on him and many young Asian American men of his generation.
