Alien Citizen

HapaLis Productions presents
in association with Multiracial Americans of Southern California (MASC)
the world premiere of ALIEN CITIZEN

Who are you when you're from everywhere and nowhere? Alien Citizen is a funny and poignant one-woman show about growing up as a dual citizen of mixed heritage in Central America, North Africa, the Middle East, and New England. Elizabeth Liang weaves humorous stories about growing up as an Alien Citizen abroad with American commercial jingles providing her soundtrack through first love, language confusion, culture shock, Clark Gable, and sandstorms...

Liang, like President Obama, is a Third Culture Kid or TCK. TCKs are the children of international business people, global educators, diplomats, missionaries, the military -- anyone whose family has relocated overseas because of a job placement. How does a young girl cope as a border/culture/language/religion straddler in country after country that feels "other" to her when she is the "other?" Where is the line between respecting others and betraying yourself?
