Please join the National Cambodian Heritage Museum & Killing Fields Memorial as we commemorate more than two millinon people who lost their lives during the Khmer Rouge regime and celebrate the resilience of the Cambodian community through a play, Camboidan Rock Band, by Lauren Lee with music by Denge Fever.

We are honored to partner with the Victory Garndens Theater on its production of Cambodian Rock Band.

"Part comedy, part mystery, part rock concert, this thrilling story toggles back and forth in time, as father and daughter face the music of the past. Neary, a young Cambodian American, has found evidence that could finally put away individuals who carried out the Cambodian genocide. But her work is far from done. When Dad shows up unannounced—his first return to Cambodia since fleeing 30 years ago—it’s clear this isn’t just a pleasure trip. A wild rock-and-roll journey through the eyes of father and daughter."
