You are cordially invited to the West Coast Premiere of…
“The entire cast is topnotch, but we have to give a special mention to hilarious mugging and comic timing of supporting player Celeste Den, who had us breathless with laughter.” - SFist
“One of the three best plays of the year!” – Time Magazine
“Director Leigh Silverman has assembled a great cast of actors, obtaining brisk performances from the seven member ensemble…Celeste Den as Miss Qian and Prosecutor Li gives a spotless performance.” - TalkinBroadway.com
“Chinglish is sexy, fun and hilarious!” – New York Magazine
Don’t miss the limited run of David Henry Hwang’s latest comedy of cross-cultural errors at South Coast Repertory. In Chinglish, an American businessman heads to Asia to score a lucrative contract for his family’s firm—but the deal isn’t the only thing getting lost in translation when he collides with a Communist minister, a bumbling consultant, a suspiciously sexy bureaucrat and a slew of hilariously inadequate translators. A West Coast premiere co-production with Berkeley Repertory Theatre.
The Cast (top left to right): Raymond Ma, Alex Moggridge, Austin Ku, Brian Nishii, (bottom left to right) Vivian Chiu, Michelle Krusiec, and Celeste Den

We truly hope you can join us for this wonderful play full of humor and heart. Its theme of [mis]communication extends beyond language and culture – asking the question “How far do we need to go to truly understand one another as human beings?”
