A group of con men attempt to fool a newly-blind woman into handing over a doll full of illegal drugs. When Susy wises up to the charade, she must level the playing field between herself and the three men.

A musical love story, THE LAST WIDE OPEN follows the near hits and misses of Lina and Roberto’s relationship. Through three different yet parallel realities, Lina (a waitress) and Roberto (an Italian immigrant) meet and waver between connection and heartbreak. Accompanied by the sweet folk sounds of guitar and ukulele, THE LAST WIDE OPEN is a heart-warming musical about the mystical ways the universe conspires to bring us all together.

Inspired by the true story of the first Chinese woman to step foot in America, Lloyd Suh’s critically acclaimed play is a tale of dark poetic whimsy and a unique portrait of the United States as seen through the eyes of a young Chinese girl. In 1834, 16-year-old Afong Moy sailed into New York Harbor and was immediately put on display for a paying public who were mesmerized by her exotic ways and horrified by her tiny bound feet. As audiences follow Moy’s travels through America as a living exhibit for decades, THE CHINESE LADY shares her impressions of a young country struggling with how to define itself.
