In celebration of Chinese Arrival Day, GEMS Theatre Productions is bringing history to life with its highly anticipated play, “From Whence We Came: The Chinese Experience”.
This educational drama will premier on January 11 at 8:00 pm and January 12, at 6:00 pm, at the National Cultural Centre in Georgetown. A special performance for schoolchildren will follow on Monday, January 13 at 09:30am.
The stage play, based on research by Scott Ting-A-Kee and scripted by celebrated playwright, novelist, and artist Harold Bascom, delves into the journey of the Chinese community from their arrival in then British Guiana, to their cultural contributions and integration into the nation’s diverse fabric.
