Coming Up Next: Ms. Kuang-Yu Fong and Mr. Stephen Kaplin of Chinese Theatre Works in New York City





My next guests on the Conversations segment of the May 27 broadcast of Marvels of China: Pathways to the Pacific Rim are Ms. Kuang-Yu Fong and Mr. Stephen Kaplin of Chinese Theatre Works in New York City. Thanks to them and an exhibit they curated at Flushing Town Hall in Queens, I was introduced to an extraordinary American woman named Pauline Benton. She was the founder of Red Gate Theatre and the first to bring Chinese shadow puppetry to American audiences nationwide. 

We'll also feature our usual weekly words of wisdom in the Confucius Moment. On Treasures of China let your imagination soar as we'll take off for a new, amazing destination. Learn about what's going on and things to see at museums on the Weekly Almanac. We'll have more for you on Historical Notes and Chinese Fun Facts, too. 

We remind our audience that Host Jeffrey Bingham Mead is the American representative of the Admissions Network of Chinese Universities and Colleges. The Sino-American Cultural Exchange Scholarship Program offers numerous opportunities for qualifying Americans to study for their Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral programs at Chinese universities and colleges. Please contact Mr. Mead for further details and to register today.
