He loves rom-coms. He writes rom-coms. Well, he lives in a rom-com, though the meet-cute never happens. From surviving the dating(-app) scene in NYC as a Chinese gay man, to finding self-love through a lifelong frenemy and a new hot neighbor, join award-winning composer-lyricist Durra Leung as he comments on the hidden episodes of his life with original songs. Performed by Leung and a small ensemble of performers, this 60-minute musical event is part cabaret, and part fabulous self-exposé.
This Program is Made Possible by the New York City Artist CorpsFrom now until October 31st, the Tank is presenting free in-person programming through the City Artist Corps Grants. City Artist Corps Grants, established by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and New York Foundation for the Arts, has offered $5,000 stipends to thousands to artists across the five boroughs. Money goes directly to the artists of New York who have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. These grants have provided an opportunity for the public to engage with free live performances, and allowed artists in need to continue sustaining their practice and art-form in an in-person setting.
*Please note that this performance will be presented at the Tank's in-person performance space at 312 W 36th St. All attendees and artists will be required to display proof of full covid vaccination before being admitted to the space, either by showing a vaccination record (vaccination card) at least two weeks out from the final dose of an approved vaccine, or by using New York's free Excelsior Pass service, available here. Patrons will also be required to wear masks while indoors at all times and for the time being, no food or beverage will be permitted to be consumed at the theater.
