Pick of the Week
Ching Chong Chinaman @ SiS Productions
"Great laughs...unexpectedly moving" - Examiner.com
Meet the Wong family: as all-American as apple pie. Ed likes to play golf, Grace wants another child, Desdemona is desperate to get into Princeton, and Upton is working towards gaming superstardom. When Upton gets an indentured Chinese servant to help him with his homework, life in the Wong household takes an interesting turn . . . Flipping every cliché about Asian American identity upside down, this award-winning play by Lauren Yee is an "exhilarating send-up" of the American dream.
Watch the preview video for Ching Chong Chinaman, in which cast member Kathy Hsieh points out "It..deals with 4th & 5th generation Asian Americans...and there's a sensibility about it that I think will really be important for 20-somethings, teenagers, and college students."
