Lan's first solo show, 'How to Unravel Your Family," played to a sold-out audience in the Lincoln Center Theater-sponsored American Living Room Festival.  Her solo show, "Elevator/Sex" had its world premiere off-Broadway, directed by Michael Kearns, at the West End Theatre and was deemed "moving and provocative" by NY Arts Magazine.  Presented with dark humor, the show emotionally links the experiences of 9/11 survivors with those who have been sexually abused.
