Untitled Diary Play
​by Bryanna Lee

September 22, 2024 - September 27, 2024
Ambrosia Theater 
959 Lake Dr SE, Grand Rapids, MI, United States

Untitled Diary Play combines storytelling, song, and video to convey Lee's journey of self-discovery and cultural reconnection. The show will delve into her coming-of-age experience while grappling with romantic feelings and the disconnection from her Filipino roots within the framework of her Catholic upbringing. 

​Lee has fifteen years of home video footage, hundreds of diary entries, high school papers, religious pamphlets, text messages, and private social media conversations she used to create the piece. All dialogue is derived from her extensive archive of notes, diary entries, written conversations, recordings, and therapist notes. No new writing has been introduced into the script.
