The Imagine-a-nation of Lala Child

[1]

Welcome to 1890 Lovely, Kansas, a drought-stricken, all-negro town, where a Chinese man rides a dust storm into ten-year-old Lala’s home and wins her Mamalou’s heart, spurring the gossipy shock of everybody else. Lala’s lyrical and imaginative child’s eye lends fresh perspective to ages old racial issues, washing us all with the sweet wisdom of an old soul in a small body. Full of humor and lively dancing, adults and children alike enjoy this gem of a performance.
