Boston Chinatown: Stories on Our Streets uplifts Boston Chinatown’s history, vibrancy, and perseverance, in the face of gentrification and racial violence. From the rhythms of restaurant kitchens to the steps of a child growing up on the brick streets, this musical in development offers moving portraits of home, memory, and belonging—rooted in Boston’s Chinatown and resonant far beyond it.
