Jin vs. the Beach

Theatre for Young Audiences, School Tour
Book, Music & Lyrics by Min Kahng
Commissioned by La Jolla Playhouse for the 2023 POP Tour

Fifth grader Jin is headed to the beach for the very first time on a class field trip. Jin is more comfortable spending his time indoors, playing his favorite game, CUBECRAFTIA. Even though Jin has lived near the ocean for a while, going to the beach is something new to him. He’s a bit anxious about it, but with the support of friends, teachers, and his imagination, Jin learns that everyone has different feelings when it comes to approaching the unknown, and that it is important to express those feelings, and try new things even when they feel scary.
