By Lauren Yee

Los Angeles Premiere

The Actors Company
Turning every cliché about Asian American identity on its head, Ching Chong Chinaman introduces us to the all-American Wong family: Ed the patriarch loves to golf and mom Grace wants another child; Desdemona obsesses over early admission into Princeton while her brother Upton is focused on World of Warcraft superstardom. To ease the burden of homework and free up more time for training, Upton acquires an indentured servant from China. Life in the Wong household is turned upside down with the arrival of Jinqiang ("Ching Chong")... who harbors his own American dreams!
Featuring Julia Cho, Elizabeth Ho, Steve Hu, Ken Narasaki, Helen H. Ota and Scott Keiji Takeda with understudies Sue Chan, Quincy Surasmith, Wanru Tseng and Kurt Yamamoto.
