“The fact is this is my second time around [seeing Shen Yun]. I’m originally from New York and I saw it up there. And even at that moment, I said I want to see it again sometime, somewhere. Little did I know I would be seeing it down here.”
 

“I became ill. And my cousin, who lives in Washington D.C., brought me down to stay with him. So therefore by staying with him, I kept on talking about this wonderful play I had seen. And he surprised me by getting tickets and bringing me here.”
 

“And what I was so impressed with in the original showing was the fact of how can [Shen Yun] get these people to look like they’re floating from heaven and coming down to the earth. I still haven’t been able to figure that out.”
