A dynamic performance that brings select acts from Interior Chinatown to life!

The Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) presents its 2024–25 NEA Big Read initiative, featuring Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu, a National Book Award winner.

This April, join us for MOCA PERFORMS – Scenes from Interior Chinatown, a dynamic performance that brings select acts from Interior Chinatown to life. Featuring an ensemble of actors, the program transforms MOCA’s exhibitions into a living stage, offering an immersive theatrical experience. Following the performance, MOCA educator Alice Fung will lead a discussion on Asian representation in mainstream media, joined by the cast. All attendees will receive a FREE copy of Interior Chinatown.

Centered on the theme Where We Live, MOCA has been hosting a series of free, multidisciplinary public programs, including talks and community events with artists, performers, and scholars. NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
