In the post before last, I had mentioned that Christian Hong Kong television actress Ada Choi would be appearing live in San Francisco in early September as part of a “Musical Religious Concert and Sermon.” As it turns out, that’s just one stop on a more extensive evangelistic tour of California, Washington, and Texas being sponsored by the Chinese Christian Mission USA.

Other peformers on the tour include singer Angela Pang, TVB character actor Wong Cho Lam (BFA ‘03, Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts), some woman I can’t identify at the moment, and veteran actress Tomi Wong (The Source of Love). There also seems to be a pastor accompanying them, as well.

Here are the relevant dates, times, and general locales where they’ll be performing/speaking…

1. Friday, September 8, 2006 at 7:30 p.m. in San Diego (Joan B. Kroc Theatre).
2. Saturday, September 9, 2006 at 7:30 p.m. in Los Angeles (Sexson Auditorium, Pasadena City College).
3. Sunday, September 10, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. in Los Angeles (Sexson Auditorium, Pasadena City College).
4. Saturday, September 16, 2006 at 7:30 p.m. in San Francisco (Nob Hill Masonic Center).
5. Sunday, September 17, 2006 at 4:00 & 7:30 p.m. in Seattle (Asa Mercer Middle School).
6. Friday, September 22, 2006 at 7:30 p.m. in Dallas (Irving Bible Church).
7. Saturday, September 23, 2006 at 7:30 p.m. in Houston (Fort Bend Community Church).
8. Sunday, September 24, 2006 at 5:00 p.m. in Houston (Southwest Chinese Baptist Church).

More specific addresses, contact info, and ticket outlets here.

I find it interesting that all the venues in California are theaters, auditoriums, and performing arts centers; all the venues in Texas are churches; and the venue in Washington is a public junior high school (the First Amendment at work baby!).

Incidentally, prior to this tour, Ada Choi will be travelling through Canada for an evangelistic endeavor of a different sort: promoting Hong Kong television station TVB and its serials. Other participating artists: Fiona Yuen, a German national of Chinese descent; Roger Kwok; and Halina Tam. Relevant dates and locales: Toronto (Sunday, September 3, 2006); Calgary (Monday, September 4, 2006); and Vancouver (Wednesday, September 6, 2006). More info here.
