Synopsis

The Wongs are American as apple pie.

Desdemona dreams of Princeton but could use some help with her calculus.

Her brother Upton wants to be a World of Warcraft champion but needs more free time to train.

Upton solves both their problems by bringing an indentured servant home one day, but they soon discover that "Ching Chong" has American dreams of his own!

An irreverent new comedy by Lauren Yee is skewering every cliché about Asian American identity.
