Finding Li Bai · as Tian Bo

My second theatre production

My role: Playing Tian Bo

Finding Li Bai was my second theatre production, and I played Tian Bo. I found true friendship in the theatre company. The post-show blues hit harder after this production than any other: I missed the stage, and even more, the friends I shared it with.
