Three accomplished businesswomen gather monthly to celebrate their professional successes, a long-standing ritual that has defined their friendship. Their routine is disrupted when Katie, an eager 24-year-old just beginning her career, joins the circle to seek guidance in navigating the demanding world of corporate finance. As each woman pushes her own vision of success onto Katie, they are forced to confront the costs of ambition, the sacrifices they’ve made, and the truths they’ve long avoided.

Balancing biting humor with an unflinching look at the pressures of capitalism, this bold world premiere examines assimilation, intergenerational conflict, and the gendered realities of workplace power. A sharp and empathetic exploration of identity and ambition, Chinese Republicans introduces an exciting new American theatrical voice.
