ArtsConnect’s ArtsCalendar is a work in progress. Presently, we are working with a small group of arts organizations from across the Tri-Cities to develop the ArtsCalendar before we open up submissions from all arts organizations and we are not accepting direct submissions at this time. If your organization is interested in joining the ArtsCalendar in the future, please email your name, address, and a brief description of your organization to: [email protected]
This resource has been made possible through the financial support of ArtsConnect’s members. If you would like to support the further development, please consider becoming a member here: Membership

Rehearsal Hall Sessions: Fistful of Kicks – Intergenerational Family Dramedy
Event Details
INTERGENERATIONAL FAMILY DRAMEDY
Fistful of Kicks
ABOUT THE SHOW
The best way to de-stress after the holidays? An Intergenerational Family Dramedy, of course! It’s all of the Family Drama you could ever want, improvised entirely on the spot. And the best part of all? It’s not your family’s drama you’re watching.
Get ready to be whisked away into the world of a dysfunctional East Asian family created entirely on the spot and inspired by you, the audience.
This show has it all. Gratuitous family drama? Check. Rip-roaring comedy? Check. Sibling rivalries? Check. A sense of struggle to find your place in the world as a second-generation immigrant? Check. Unending rivers of gossip unleashed faster than your shocked self can yell “Auntie! SHH!!”? Check, check, triple-check.
Take a break from the real world and come see us explore the relationships, tensions, cultural expectations, alliances, and treachery of a multigenerational Asian family as they navigate generational boundaries and the modern world. And the best part of it all? It’s not your family’s drama that you’re watching. So kick back, relax, and enjoy all of the juiciest and funniest parts of Asian family drama brought to life on stage by Fistful of Kicks.
