Color Arc Productions is proud to present the world premiere of a A Girl Named Sue, new play by Vietnamese-American playwright Christine Hoang with songs by award-winning Korean-American singer/songwriter BettySoo. BettySoo will perform live at all 12 shows of A Girl Named Sue from February 24 – March 12, 2017 at Trinity Street Theatre.

A Girl Named Sue is a story of love and identity told through theatre, music, and poetry. Directed by award-winning Director Karen Jambon, this unexpected love story follows the life Vietnamese-American college student Sue Nguyen. Through Sue’s experiences, we explore relationships between Asian and Black communities in America, friendship and strain between men and women of color, ties between immigrant Americans and first-generation Americans, and love between parent and child.
