Upintheair Theatre Presents Garvin Chan's

In the Albertan Badlands there is a town with a pawn shop. In that pawn shop is a copy of Chinese family records thought to have been burned during the Cultural Revolution. 

Now, it is up to a Chinese cowboy to retrieve those records in time to present them as part of their father’s funeral in this absurd, wacky, and strangely heartfelt heist play.

This is Oriental Cowboy Mosh Pit. 

Yeehaw.
