CASA Culture Show

  Hi readers! One of our lovely APASA interns Tiffany Chen attended our CASA member org's culture show last Saturday. Read to find out what the show was about. 

A refreshing break from studies and classes, CASA’s 17th annual culture show, directed by Emily Levin and Jason Chen, played during the midst of midterm season on March 5, 2016. Starring Jon Lau and Holly Liu, this year’s culture show, ‘Triads and Tribulations’, was a sequel to last year’s show, ‘Triad and Tested’.

In ‘Triads and Tribulations’, audience members follow the life of Jon, the son of Andy Lau, who left his life behind with the Triad gang. Originally unaware of his lineage as Triad boss, Jon balances his school life as a pre-med and pre-law student with his love life.  His love interest, Nicole, is an aggressive dancer chick who really knows how to pack a punch. Jon and Nicole have instant chemistry, and when Jon is kidnapped by the Triads, it is Nicole, along with her friends, who ultimately saves him.

With a script full of humor and league references, ‘Triads and Tribulations’ had audience members laughing out loud. The show’s song choices between scenes also had more than a few spectators dancing in their seats. There were memorable performances by Trogons Acapella and the dance crew Chaotic 3. The show was so popular that even CASA partner organizations from other schools, such as UC Irvine and UCLA, came out in support. CASA’s 17th annual culture show was a success and a fun time was had by all who attended.
