What Am I, Chopped Suey?

Deeply personal, yet universally relatable are terms that probably just scratch the service of Meg Lin's triumphant solo show! In addition to massive amounts of heart and humor overflowing in the piece, there are also themes of family dynamics, never feeling as though you belong, and the havoc mental health can inflict that are explored. While I am not Chinese, I can certainly appreciate the messaging that maybe all of us are like "chopped suey" when it comes down to what and more importantly, who we are... this was truly a beautiful piece of theatre!!!... full review

Meg Lin gives a brutally honest and heartfelt performance, offering us a look inside the cold upbringing she endured from her Chinese parents in Los Angeles. And any of us raised by parents who grew up in another country or culture will identify with her struggle to become a modern American amid the challenges of trying to please parents who cannot possibly understand the new world in which you live.... full review
