Mable Kwan is the best grifter that ever lived. She taught sons H and Francis to be the best roper and fixer around. When youngest daughter Blue puts together the con of the decade, will they all get in on the action together or will one of them walk away with it all? It’s a show of smoke and mirrors, but underneath the grifting and game theory is a provoking story about family, destiny, perseverance and redemption.

Feature
Theater Mu artistic director Lily Tung Crystal shares why she’s loved Carla Ching’s play for many years, and how Asian American playwrights are creating a new American canon.

Under the new leadership of Artistic Director Lily Tung Crystal, Theater Mu is committed to telling stories from the heart of the Asian American experience and presenting a fusion of traditional and contemporary artistic influences, which range from classics to up-and-coming voices in the community.
