Featured performer: Edward Pokropski
Case 84: Adopted in the U.S.A, is an immersive journey through Edward's experience growing up in Philadelphia as a transracial adoptee and touches on the influence of American media on identity, complex family dynamics, and ultimately what it means to be an American. There are silly, introspective, and also painful moments in the show, including Edward's trip back to Seoul, Korea to learn more about his birth family. Edward's delivery gives room for viewers to laugh while also reflecting on the universal themes of identity, belonging, and family. As Edward's journey unfolds, viewers have the opportunity to learn alongside him, gaining insights into the challenges faced by adoptees and the power of self-discovery.
