Get Ready To Rock With TheatreSquared’s Production Of Cambodian Rock Band

TheatreSquared is setting the stage for Lauren Yee’s Cambodian Rock Band, the critically acclaimed show heralded by The Los Angeles Times as “a fierce, gorgeous, heartwarming, comedic fairy tale.” Shows will run from Feb 28 through Mar 24.

• Going Home: This darkly funny, electric new play tells the story of a father who escaped a murderous regime returning home after 30 years in search of his wayward daughter. As the play jumps back in time, it’s a rock epic meets thrilling mystery as both are forced to face the music of the past.
