Yuen and Liz Lai of the Greater Los Angeles, California Area worked from the Chinese version of the story, adapted into English by Yuen.

The production was directed by Ginger Leopoldo; produced by ENERI Communications; with Rieny G. Cualoping serving as executive producer. Lawrence Lin served as project consultant. The production stars Ada Cheng, Van Ferro, Edward W. Lai, Ginger Leopoldo, Larry Leopoldo and Victoria Li.

Guests also had the opportunity to view the then Museum 4th Floor Gallery exhibit: "Laura Lynn Hsieh: Mahjong and Dumplings," featuring ceramics and video by artist Laura Lynn Hsieh. This exhibit is part of CAMOC's Spotlight Series, curated by Larry Lee.
