Thank you, Viet Q Media for putting together this video to highlight both the world premiere comedy Colonialism is Terrible, But Phở is Delicious and the AAPI Community Night that we co-hosted at the Bette Aitken theater arts Center last Saturday, April 15th with Viet Q Media, Viet Creatives Collective, Viet Rainbow of Orange County, and Vietnamese American Arts & Letters Association (VAALA).


Colonialism is Terrible, But Pho Is Delicious: AAPI Community Night

AAPI Community Night for “Colonialism is Terrible, But Phở is Delicious”

Presented by Chance Theater.

This biting comedy spans centuries, continents, and cultures in its three-part vignette structure. Beginning in 1880s Hanoi, the capital city of French Indochina, where a Vietnamese cook finds herself in the kitchen of aristocratic French settlers. Then in 1999, a century later, in Vietnam, where American diners get their first taste of the local cuisine. Then finally, in present-day, gentrifying Brooklyn, where the simmering argument around culture, ownership, and authenticity comes to a roaring boil.
