Your typical Silicon Valley family — except nothing is typical.
看似普通的硅谷华人家庭 — 其实没有一件事是普通的。
Four couples — different careers, different lifestyles, all navigating the beautiful mess of modern relationships. When gender flips and life gets a second chance, what really matters? What would you hold onto, and what would you let go?
四对夫妻 — 不同的事业，不同的生活方式，都在应对现代关系那份美丽又混乱的课题。当性别角色互换，人生获得重来一次的机会，什么才是真正重要的？你会紧紧抓住什么，又会放下什么？
Set against a world where AI assistants, virtual reality, and robots have quietly moved into our homes — the play asks whether technology brings us closer, or just gives us better ways to avoid each other.
故事背景设定在一个AI助手、虚拟现实与机器人已悄然走进我们家庭生活的世界 — 这部戏探讨的是：科技究竟让我们更亲近，还是只是给了我们更多逃避彼此的方式？
Written by Bay Area playwright Joyce Hsu, Neckties vs. High Heels is adapted from her earlier script Who Is the Winner? — first staged in Silicon Valley in 2008 to widespread acclaim. Eighteen years later, a new production team drawn from the Communication University of China (中国传媒大学), the Beijing Film Academy (北京电影学院), and the Central Academy of Drama (中央戏剧学院) — alongside Bay Area tech professionals and local creatives — brings the story of the Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li families back to the stage, sharper and funnier than ever.
《领带vs.高跟鞋》由湾区剧作家 Joyce Hsu（沈悦）创作，改编自她早年的剧本《谁是赢家？》— 该剧于2008年在硅谷首演，广受好评。十八年后，一支由中国传媒大学、北京电影学院与中央戏剧学院校友组成的全新制作团队，联手湾区科技从业者与本地创意人才，将赵、钱、孙、李四个家庭的故事重新搬上舞台，更加犀利、更加爆笑。
A comedy full of heart. Honest, warm, and laugh-out-loud funny.
一部充满温度的喜剧 — 真诚、温暖，笑到停不下来。
The kind of show you'll be talking about on the drive home.

Where is Great Star Theater and is there parking nearby?
