      Raise your hand and ask a question of a unique activist, Kristina Wong, mostly recently the author of Auntie Kristina’s Guide to Asian American Activism.

      Wong is a performance artist, comedian, and writer as well, and her book launch event Saturday, April 18th at 2:00 pm.

      In this fresh work, Wong draws on her celebrated body of theatre and social-practice work to explore community care, collective power, and the long legacy of Asian American activism—through her trademark blend of sharp wit, heartfelt insight and grassroots storytelling. She’ll discuss the inspiration behind the book, share passages and reflections, and open the floor for audience questions and connection.

      Tickets are $35 (includes book) and can be purchased online at Sierra Madre Playhouse’s website or by calling the box office at (626) 355-4318.
