WONG FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST IN LOS ANGELES FOR ONLY TWO MORE WEEKENDS!
THE REVIEWS ARE IN!!!! "Solo artist Kristina Wong unveils a string of
imaginative surprises as she supposedly examines the high rates of
depression and suicide among Asian American women. She darts around this
grim subject with the kind of meta-theatrical wit that creates one of the
funniest shows in town and engenders a level of audience participation
that's enthusiastic without becoming embarrassing. Then she ends with a
sobering coda -- another kind of surprise after all the laughs. It's a wild
ride, and Wong's a magnetically energizing artist."--- Don Shirley, LA City
Beat
"Raucous and irreverent -- that's Wong in a nutshell." -- The Associated
Press
"Wong's one person show injects her trademark irreverent humor into a work
of unblinking social commentary" --San Francisco Bay Guardian
WHEN: Fridays and Saturdays 8:30pm, Sundays 3pm September 19-October 5,

WHAT: Kristina Wong brings her nationally acclaimed show home for its Los
Angeles premiere run! Incisive writer and performer Kristina Wong mixes
