Bound Ruo Huang

Diane Tran's mother Khanh, sings of the sacrifices she made to bring her family to America, begging forgiveness of her parents and siblings she had to leave behind, and remembering her own dreams she gave up to make their move possible.

Bound is on stage June 9–18 at Tagney Jones Hall at the Opera Center

Inspired by a true story, eleventh grade honor roll student Diane Tran is the child of two Vietnamese immigrants who are now divorced. With her father rarely around and her mother gone, Diane feels bound to help provide financially for her family, be both sister and parent to her siblings, and also keep up her honor roll studies.

Through the lens of an exhausted dream, we follow Diane as she struggles with familial duties, her mother's abandonment, and the injustices of a system lacking compassion or understanding. As Diane's mother shares her own reasons for leaving family behind, Diane must make an impossible decision in this "land of laws."
