My earliest memories of plays were that they were often exaggerated, out-of-place, and overly abstract. Perhaps it is only right that I am put into the director’s seat to right these gross misconceptions, and in doing so, be extremely thankful to a strong cast, crew and PCT Board who stood by me unwaveringly.

      In this play, you will almost definitely find some form of strangeness, be it that time never seem to pass in a proper manner, or that the conversations seem almost uncannily real, in particular to the Chinese-American community. This is what this play is about, and in general I think, what experimental theater is about: juxtaposing items that never seem to belong with one another next to each other.

      Train Station is an adapted play, which means that it doesn’t exactly leave the shell of its parent work, in this case, Xingjian Gao’s Bus Stop. Yet, this play was never meant to leave the shell. We meant to simply carry this shell over to a new set of people.

      Who’s who, and who’s actually the “foreigner”?
