Is this everyone?
Only relatives with a profile here are drawn, so a family can be larger than this. A line here can also be wrong. A marriage is drawn as ended only where its end is recorded, so a spouse drawn here may be a former one.

In their own words 3
, In terms of theater, I think the musical is closer to the heart of American popular culture than at any time since the 1950s.
In 1980, Chinese-Americans were certainly considered perpetual foreigners to America, even more so than today.
It seems to me that the biggest challenge for Chinese theater is to cultivate an audience, which would make possible long-running shows.
