CHING CHONG CHINAMAN

by LAUREN YEE
directed by JENNIFER WEIR

February 14 - March 1, 2009

 

A QUIRKY AND CLEVER WORLD PREMIERE

The ultra-assimilated Wong family is as Chinese American as apple pie: teenager Upton dreams of World of Warcraft superstardom; his sister Desi dreams of early admission to Princeton. Unfortunately, Upton’s chores and homework get in the way of his 24/7 videogaming, and Desi’s math grades don’t fit the Asian American stereotype. Then Upton comes up with a novel solution for both problems: he acquires a Chinese indentured servant, who harbors an American dream of his own.
