Director Ping Chong during rehearsals for "Undesirable Elements"

A rich partnership with internationally acclaimed playwright Ping Chong brought the myriad voices of Washington D.C.'s diverse cultural communities to the stage and parks of the city during June 2000. During his Artists & Communities residency with GALA Hispanic Theatre, Chong worked with five community representatives to fashion the performance piece, "Undesirable Elements."
