At last, after extensive searches of the Puget Sound Asian American talent pool, PFP announces the cast for our big summer production, She Devil of the China Seas!

Heading the cast is Kristine Ota as Shih, the steel-eyed woman who rose from refugee to sex worker to pirate queen. Van Lan Pham is Cheng Ai,the pirate lord who’s more than her match. Anna Saephan is Shih’s sister, Xi, and Aaron Jin is Cheng Pao, adopted son of Cheng Ai and someone who has more than a passing fancy in Xi,

In opposition to this crew is ageless sorceress Wu Tsu, played by Eloisa Cardona, and the Man in the Golden Dragon mask. But who knows what role is played by Xuan Nu (Steph Sola), the goddess of war and love?

Rounding out the cast are Michael Latham, Alvina Hsiao, Archie Sugiyama, Kaughlin Caver, Michelle Lin, Dylan Smith and Andreya Pro. Carol Tagawa will understudy the role of Shih (and will be performing in a number of shows).

Shih knows one thing in life: survival. She clawed her way up from refugee using every means to support her injured sister. But when China’s pirate lord offers her a chance at something more, the sorceress Wu and her dark forces gather to destroy her before she can even accept…and fulfill a destiny from the gods! 

Based on the real-life pirate who commanded the largest pirate fleet in history, She Devil is one part true history, one part swashbuckler, one part Marvel comics = full length fun on stage in the mode of SHANG CHI and BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, complete with pirate queens, swords and sorcery!

She Devil of the China Seas is by PFP head honcho Roger Tang and directed by Kiefer Harrington. It will hit the Theatre Off Jackson August 11, 2022 and run through August 27, 2022. Keep your eyes peeled for the latest news on She Devil.
