 Empress Mei Li Lotus Blossom: a 25 minute Zoom play!
Empress Mei Li Lotus Blossom is a story about “Lo-An Li”, an ambitious Hong Kong film star looking to make her splash on Broadway. Taking place during a high-powered Zoom meeting, Ashley Sanders, 3-time Tony award winning and 8-time BroadwayWorld award nominated producer, pitches her the “play that America needs to see,” hoping that they will both hit pay dirt and take Broadway by storm. When the playwright Billy Ellis’s assistant enters the picture, all assumptions are off. 

Approximate run time 25 minutes followed by a Q & A session with the cast and playwright. 

Please log in to our virtual theatre 15 minutes before this live performance with the link emailed to you by the Box Office. 

​We are happy to announce that $5 of each Empress Mei Li Lotus Blossom ticket purchase will be 
donated to the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund.
