About

Stuck Elevator is a comic-rap-scrap-metal-opera prompted by the real-life experience of a Chinese restaurant food delivery man who was trapped in an elevator in the Bronx for 81 hours.

The show provides a personal entry point to thinking about and discussing topics that include immigration, labor, China, family obligation and fortune cookies for an undocumented immigrant/indentured slave in 21st century America.
