THE DANCE AND THE RAILROAD

The Los Angeles Theatre Center
Thursday, October 1, 2026
Asian American theater collective Artists at Play and Latino Theater Company embark on their fourth collaboration in as many years with a new production of The Dance and the Railroad, an early work by David Henry Hwang. Set during the 1867 Central Pacific Railroad strike protesting inhuman treatment of Chinese laborers in the American West, this haunting and deeply affecting play contrasts the brutal demands of railroad work with the dream, shared by two workers, to practice traditional Chinese Opera.
