"Ching Chong Chinaman" is a hilarious satire about an Asian American family that doesn't realize they're Asian. 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.

"Ching Chong Chinaman" is written by Lauren Yee; directed by Desdemona Chiang; and produced by Lorna Chin, Kathy Hsieh, Jane Moon, and Miko Premo with support from Chris Monsos, Lisa Marie Nakamura, Serin Ngai, and Roger Tang. The cast features Jose Abaoag, Stan Asis, Elizabeth Daruthayan, Kathy Hsieh, Kay Nahm and Christian Ver!

SIS Productions is a Production Company that strives to create, develop and produce quality works that involve Asian American women, their themes, and Asian American issues. SIS Productions encourages opportunities and support for Asian American women to be involved in all aspects of the production of artistic endeavors.
