Bruce Lee is an iconic figure in Seattle lore.

Before he became LA’s Kung Fu teacher to the stars, he was an 18-year-old working at Ruby Chow’s Restaurant on the corner of Broadway and Jefferson, attending the University of Washington and getting in fights at Dick’s Drive-In.

We’ll hear more about a new stage show that outlines this formative part of his life.
