Production at UCLA Royce Hall, Los Angeles 


Set in Bellflower during the 1980’s, PARACHUTE KID tells a tale about life in the working class as seen through the eyes of Yvonne Wu. A famous cartoonist, Yvonne returns home to a small, working class town after nearly ten years. She reminisces about her childhood as a lonely "parachute kid" – immigrant children sent abroad to be raised without their parents. She remembers her life at the Gold Star Motel where Mr. Frank, the maintenance man, first brought about her love of art. And her tough Auntie Rina, who taught her survival of life. She is also reminded of her lost teenage love, Joey. Yvonne’s bond with them was one that contained many highlights and tragedies that shaped a young girl’s growth and gave her the courage to leave her hopeless town.
