The Great Leap by Lauren Yee (San Jose)


San Jose Stage Presents:
The Great Leap by Lauren Yee
Directed by Jeffrey Lo
Previews: September 29 - October 1, 2021
Show Runs: October 2 - October 24, 2021

Basketball, family, and Tiananmen Square intersect in this witty and fast-paced comedic drama.

When an American basketball team travels to Beijing for an exhibition game in 1989, the drama goes deeper than the strain between countries. Tensions rise right up to the final buzzer as a pivotal moment in history collides with the action in the arena. Driven by rapid-fire dialogue, THE GREAT LEAP explores the cultural and political risks of raising your voice and standing your ground.
