San Diego State’s Vietnamese Student Association hosted its annual cultural night online on April 16 featuring a short play, musical performances, parent interviews, dances and a lip-sync performance.
“I’m still really proud because I didn’t watch any of it beforehand but our board hella pulled through especially in a virtual year,” VSA Co-president Sarah Hoang said.
Vietnamese Cultural Night Director Annie Huynh wrote the script for the two-act play titled “Their Untold Past,” which followed a Vietnamese family and the struggles they face building a new life in America.
