Years of tradition, progress, and prejudice have shaped a Chinese family’s destiny in America, and now their daughter must find a role for herself, in her family and in her world. To tell her tale, this play unties the theatrical, artistic, and musical legacies of both lands, and the result is one of the most ambitious productions in the Huntington’s history.

Directed by Mark Brokaw
Oct. 21 — Nov. 20, 1994
The Huntington Theatre
This wildly savage new comedy by Nicky Silver tells the tale of a Main Line Philadelphia family as they face the dizzying challenges of living in the modern world. As topical as the evening news, but a good deal funnier!
As You Like It
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Edward Gilbert
Jan. 6 — Feb. 5, 1995
The Huntington Theatre
Rosalind gently schools Orlando in the ways of love, the ribald Touchstone pursues his way with Audrey, and romantic endeavors reign in the pastoral-comical Forest of Arden.

March 10 – April 9, 1995
The Huntington Theatre
A hilarious boulevard comedy about the tempestuous marriage of two leading actors. When his jealousy drives him to devise a secret test of her honor, the only certain result is laughter!
A Raisin in the Sun

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore and then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over
Like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
Like a heavy load.
Or does it explode? – “Harlem” by Langston Hughes
