Tiger Daughter: Or, How I Brought My Immigrant Mother Ultimate Shame

Get ready for laughter, tears, and rock and roll glory as rising star Charlene Kaye brings her critically acclaimed one-woman show, The show follows a run of sold-out performances around the country and an Edinburgh Fringe Festival run and willl be presented by comedy legend Margaret Cho.

TIGER DAUGHTER is an emotional rollercoaster detailing Kaye’s tumultuous relationship with Lily, her immigrant Chinese mother. Kaye defies her mother’s dreams that she play Carnegie Hall by age 12 and, instead, applies her classical piano knowledge to shred guitar as slutty Slash in an all-girl Guns N’ Roses cover band called “Guns N’ Hoses” (with the slogan “Welcome to the Vajungle!”). This is just one of many mishaps in the show as we watch Kaye try, and epically fail, to win Lily’s respect. As Lily watches the nightmare version of the American Dream play out before her eyes, Kaye grapples with inherited baggage, cultural clashes, and the fight to be herself.
