Dancing in the rain! A super fun way to celebrate CAAL’s 40 & Fabulous years of service to Lexington at the Patriots’ Day Parade.

Audiences came to Cary Hall with a full house on Saturday April 8 and watched the play “Interconnect” with great interest and enthusiasm. The 6-act play with 200 performers told the stories of the Chinese American community in Lexington and the Greater Boston area. Their trailblazer initiatives and spirit of love have built connections and communities in times of crisis. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Chinese American Association of Lexington. This is the first event that kicks off the celebration of Patriot’s Day, and the May AAPI Heritage Month.

Here are some audience comments after the show:

“Thank you so much! I will read the script with great interest and for a fuller understanding of what was happening. It was wonderful to sit among so many people understanding Chinese so fluently, and to hear it spoken in so many contexts. (My husband and I have a daughter adopted from China at the age of 1, who is now 29, and grew up in Lexington).” – Pat Moyer

“Thank you for inviting us to last night’s performance. It was a great historical exhibition of how CAAL evolved from a minor volunteering group of Chinese Americans to present day a very heavy weight organization in the Lexington community Thanks to you all for putting so much time and energy into an important show. I invited a neighbor from Brookhaven to go with us, she was very impressed with the performance. CAAL, you have come a long way!!! Thanks to people like you.” – Sophia Ho

“I thoroughly enjoyed the show–I didn’t realize, Nick, that you not only wrote and directed, but also starred in it. I’m glad it was such a success.” – Suzanne Adams

四年疫情，人们经历了病毒变异、疫苗争论、美中关系的倒退、对亚裔的仇恨；也经历了居家办公、居家上学等生活方式的巨变。而疫情四年，受到最大冲击的无疑是华裔。子在川上曰：逝者如斯夫。疫情终于到了尾声，很多人选择昂首前行，遗忘一切；也有人选择直面痛苦，以史为鉴。《拾音社》将疫情四年浓缩成六幕话剧《互联》，从MIT留学生与莱镇普通华裔移民家庭的视角揭示展示华裔移民的觉醒与成长，并携手莱镇华协与新英格兰华人联盟一起将它展现在大众的视野，叙说我们的故事，也为庆祝四月爱国者日和五月的亚太裔传统月打响“第一枪”！

4月8日7点在Cary Hall 最后一次隆重上演！
