    Culture Night: Skit

    The title of the show, Bridging the Divide, reflects the semi-physical semi-mental divide created by the differing cultures of the people of Vietnam. The show was a challenge for many of us as we sought to educate ourselves about the three different regions of Vietnam: South, Central, and North. With the show, we hope to share some of the many things we have learned.
