NewsSubscribe to SIS Productions News Archived News SIS Productions presents Insatiable! Seattle’s 6th Asian American Playwrights’ Festival November 10-14, 2011 at Prima Vera Arts Center presents the Northwest premiere of Year Zero a play by Michael Golamco directed by Miko Premo September 30 – October 22, 2011 Fridays at 8pm and Saturdays at 4pm and 8pm  "A very smart, sweet, honest and uncommonly moving new play" - Chicago Tribune Vuthy is a quirky 16-year-old who thinks it's a good day if he can make it home without getting beat up for being "too Cambodian for the black and Latin kids, and not Cambodian enough for the Cambodian kids.” Ra, his older sister is working towards the American dream of a higher education their immigrant mother never had. Layered with humor and heartbreak, Year Zero is an American story of young Asians trying to find their place in life while still dealing with the legacy their parents left behind. Produced by Elizabeth Daruthayan, Lorna Chin, Kathy Hsieh, May Nguyen, Miko Premo & Roger Tang with support from Hayley Park & Annie Yoon Featuring Elizabeth Daruthayan, Johnny Patchamatla, Christian Ver or David Hsieh, and Moses Yim!

SIS Productions presents the Northwest premiere of Ching Chong Chinaman written by Lauren Yee directed by Desdemona Chiang choreographed by Laura Catherine West March 26 – April 24, 2010 Fridays at 8pm and Saturdays at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. "The one-liners come fast and furiously in this rollicking sendup as playwright Lauren Lee sets out to mock all major stereotypes. The whole effect is very funny, but below the humor are poignant issues related to identity. . . . this is a smart and funny work designed for all Americans." - The Seattle Times "This play was a delightful, refreshing, hilarious and touching approach to the issue of Asian American identity. The actors were incredibly talented and delivered the audience with laughs and tears." - The Loaded Gunn "The show was hilarious. . . . Interwoven with the hilarity was a serious story with some very quiet moments that forced you to think of the subjects about which most of us don't want to think. This is an excellent show complete with comedy, cultural education, and depth of character. I highly recommend it." - New SIS Fan "It was a surprise on several levels. I wasn't expecting it to be as amusing as it was nor did I think it would be as poignant as it was. And finally, the actors were uniformally excellent - which I actually hadn't really anticipated. I am so glad I went!" - New SIS Fan "funny, irreverent, held unexpected plot lines/twists, and features an amazingly talented cast" - SIS Fan "I loved this play! And I really enjoyed the after play actor discussion....I laughed and laughed and I hope everyone is able to see it!" - SIS Fan Meet the Wong family: as all-American as apple pie. 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. Produced by: Lorna Chin, Kathy Hsieh, Jane Moon, & Miko Premo with support from Chris Monsos, Lisa Marie Nakamura, Serin Ngai & Roger Tang. Featuring: Jose Abaoag, Stan Asis, Elizabeth Daruthayan, Kathy Hsieh, Kay Nahm and Christian Ver! Special thanks to Seattle’s Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs, Theatre Puget Sound, the Washington State Arts Commission, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the United States Census Bureau for their support.
