Esther Choi & The Fish That Drowned by Stephanie Kyung-Sun Walters (Reading)

  • The Drake 302 South Hicks Street Philadelphia, PA, 19102 United States (map)

WHAT AM I DOING? DIRECTING!

Stephanie Kyung-Sun Walters is a beautiful emerging playwright and it’s always an honor to work with her. We’re gonna take PlayPenn by storm!

Esther Choi is your favorite all-American, overachieving-Asian teen except she has a ghost. Anthony Gibson is Esther’s best friend and (spoiler alert) he’s dead. Mr. Choi is Esther’s grandfather and he owns a haunted dry cleaner on Cheltenham Ave. In an (un)likely turn of events, Esther must grapple with grief, loneliness, and winning first chair in high school orchestra, all while living up to her grandfather’s new expectations.
