About Me

Mission Statement: Bertolt Brecht argued that to understand the complexities of the world, one must learn to see complexly. Yet today, in an age in which our vision is increasingly arrested by commercial media, complex seeing has become vastly more difficult. In response, Big Picture Group uses theatre as a lens through which the often obscure dynamics of contemporary life might be brought into focus. Our mission: to see, differently.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Are you a good person? Can you be a good person in a corrupt society? Welcome to contemporary Beijing, America's most ardent wannabe! Against the backdrop of this world metropolis, a young prostitute, Shen Te, gives shelter to the traveling gods and is rewarded with a small tobacco shop. But the harsh realities of business soon collide with her natural kindness, and she is forced to choose between being good or surviving in a cruel world. When commerce meets compassion and self-interest meets sympathy, we find out there's a little bit of bad in all of us.
