The Georgia Straight proudly sponsors Teahouse

On November 10 and 11, 8 p.m., Lao She's Teahouse comes to the Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts (777 Homer).

Revived by the theatre company's touring artistic director Lin Zhaohua, Teahouse features actors such as Liang Guanhua, Pu Cunxin, and Yang Lixin.

The play will be performed in Mandarin, with English surtitles.
