PGPL presents: “Carol Marquart: Chinatown Before & After 1906 Earthquake” A Staged Reading
Friday, May 24, 2024 (5:30 PM - 7:30 PM) (PDT)
Description
Local Author and Playwright Carol Marquart Presents: Chinatown Before & After 1906 Earthquake. In this staged reading, Arnold Genthe, an immigrant to California from Germany, takes up a new hobby in 1900…photography. He wanders through the neighborhoods in San Francisco with his folding Kodak camera and stumbles upon a place called Tangrenbu, known by outsiders as the Chinese quarter. With the help of a Chinese interpreter and guide, Hong Yen, the story of the early Chinese in America begins to unfold. With Arnold Genthe, performed by actor/ former Hollywood screenwriter, Mark Baer, we view these very rare and authentic photographs taken before, during and after the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.
