The WWU Khmer Student Association is proud to announce their 7th Annual New Year Show and Dinner, “Pieces of Our History.”
This will be KhSA’s biggest show yet, featuring six performances threaded together in a single storyline. Along with the storyline, the show will have four emcees/characters. The performances range from traditional, elegant dances, to live band rock and roll, to a breakdancing piece. The show will also feature Cambodian food served to the audience.
The show marks the last for many long running officers of the club, making it a very meaningful one.
“I think it’s important for us to hold onto our cultural roots especially when we’re away from our family while attending college,” Public Relations Officer Amberly Khasmsaly said. “This is an opportunity to showcase the beauty of our culture, food, music, dances, and language.”
KhSA’s 7th Annual New Year Show will take place 6 p.m., Saturday, April 29 in the Viking Union Multipurpose Room. Tickets are now on sale, $10 for students, $12 for general, and $8 for children.
WWU KhSA was established in 1995 and their mission is to learn, preserve, and increase awareness of the Khmer culture, values, customs and beliefs, as well as provide outreach to the campus of Western Washington University, surrounding communities and regional youth.
