Ching Chong Chinaman

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.

Skewering every cliche about Asian American identity, CCC is an award-winning play by Lauren Yee, an emerging Bay Area playwright who's about to break onto the national stage.

CCC features Cindy Im, Lisa Kang, Arthur Keng, Sung Min Park, Pearl Wong, and Dennis Yen, and is directed by former Impact Associate Artistic Director Desdemona Chiang, who is now finishing her directing MFA at the University of Washington.
