As one of the Featured Artists of Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center's (APICC) "United Asian American Festival 2024: Be(long)ing Here," Ramon Abad presents "Duck Soup" an immersive theater experience for children and families at Bindlestiff Studio.

The one-hour show will engage the audience by guiding them to various sections of the theater, where they will witness short stories brought to life through captivating puppet performances.

The expression "duck soup" is Depression-era slang for something that's "easy to do" or a "piece of cake." No actual ducks will be cooked. Tickled perhaps, but not cooked! 😄
