CCC: "Whip-smart and very funny"

The East Bay Express's review of Ching Chong Chinaman is out, and Sam Hurwitt gave us a rave as well: "Whip-smart and very funny, in a snappy production by Desdemona Chiang with a strong cast... Particularly clever is Yee's deft use of magical realism, as embodied by Pearl Wong in a multitude of roles... The journey's so thoroughly enjoyable that one's just sorry to see it end."

He then goes on to compare our show with Amy Tan's opera, currently playing across the bay, and concludes, "As Chinese-American family sagas go, give me the low-rent send-up in the pizzeria basement any day." Read the whole review.

Maybe our family has the potential to be as cool as Amy Tan's family...
