"description": "Musical play set in a Japanese American concentration camp at Christmastime.\n \n Christmas in Camp\n \n , by playwright Dom Magwili, was the second play in East West Players' 1981–82 season—entitled \"Kidoairaku\"—in which all four plays centered on the Japanese American incarceration story. It premiered December 10, 1981. The central character is Hannah Sasaki, a disabled teenage girl in camp, whose letters to an older sister who had escaped camp through \"\n \n voluntary evacuation\n \n \" propel the story. Hannah ends up organizing a Christmas show to improve morale in the camp. The show, consisting of popular Christmas songs, is then performed for both the camp and theater audiences.",
