SYNOPSIS

A 🎵 musical 🎶 that follows a group of immigrant women working in a Chinatown garment factory. And like most typical Asian American tales, there’s a child who makes the world way messier.

After one of the workers leaves for a better job, it sparks what’s possible for everyone left behind.
