"Sex in Seattle is progressive in its field, not only for producing sexy, witty theatre written with heart about vital issues, but also for showcasing an under-represented part of the population." - The Spectator

Sex in Seattle is the nation’s longest running, original episodic theatre show! SIS Productions celebrates its 10th Anniversary with another new episode! Romance is great, but is true love the grand sweeping gestures of passion we fantasize about? Or is it those everyday moments that bring people closer together over time? Join Tess, Jenna, Elizabeth and Chloe as they discover their own answers in Seattle's very own quirky romantic comedy about contemporary Asian American women, their lives and their loves. Newcomers and long-time fans won't want to miss Sex in Seattle 18: An Everyday Kind of Love - smart and sexy with a sense of humor!

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.
