I got some info passed via e-mail from addword productions about the play "Letters To A Student Revolutionary" that's being staged to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre. The performance will be for one weekend only on Feb 28 - Mar 1 at the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy (across from the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo) and portions of the proceeds will benefit Amnesty International.
Here's all the info you should need to get on out and support it:

LETTERS TO A STUDENT REVOLUTIONARY
A Play by Elizabeth Wong
Directed by Peter J. Kuo
A Special ONE WEEKEND ONLY Benefit Performance to Commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre
Poignantly moving and at times disarmingly funny, LETTERS TO A STUDENT REVOLUTIONARY traces the decade-long correspondence and search for true democracy between two pen-pals--one Chinese, the other Chinese American--which ends abruptly with the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre. First staged in 1991, this is the first play in the United Stated to respond to the tragic historical event.
Community sponsor: Visual Artists Guild. Portions of proceed to benefit the Amnesty International.
