“In her new play Ching Chong Chinaman, Lauren Yee lifts America’s vaunted melting pot off the patriotic flame and splatters it all over the stove…. The Impact Theatre production does a wonderful job of taking the sensitive issue of ethnic identity and tearing it to shreds to make an apt and pointed comment on the idea that no matter who we are, figuring out exactly what we are is not quite as easy as it seems.”   –Contra Costa Times
