Ken Lin speaks about the universality of performing arts in this Houston Chronicle article:
“My parents were immigrants, and I grew up in a family where some people didn't speak English...So as a child, I learned the power of storytelling and also of nonverbal communication. I was drawn to the performing arts because of how universal they are.”
Lin is best known for the plays Po Boy Tango, Farewell My Concubine, and Kleptocracy.
