Going Green The Wong Way

Going Green The Wong Way

Bootleg Theater
2220 Beverly Blvd. Los Angeles

In her quest to pursue sustainable living, Kristina Wong purchased a 1981 pink Mercedes that ran on vegetable oil, and endured a nightmare of never-ending car repairs and near death pursuits for the used cooking oil to fuel it. When the car finally burst into flames on an L.A. freeway, Wong lost the largest line item in her monthly budget, and gained the inspiration for this premiere production. GOING GREEN THE WONG WAY brings our contemporary urban environment to life, revealing just how tricky it is to "do the right thing." Based on Wong's true-life adventures, but elevated to surrealist heights, the production takes us from Kristina's confrontational 6th grade science project, to her wandering years as a missionary of recycling, to her true calling as Los Angeles' patron martyr of carbon-free living.

Review Round-Up

LA Weekly - Recommended

"...Though her performance lags in a couple of places, it’s a smart, brazen and raunchy parody of political correctness."

"...Wong is an energetic, witty, uninhibited performer, and with the assistance of director Paul Tei, she has produced a seamless, sure-fire comedic turn."

LA Theatre Review - Recommended

"...Going Green the Wong Way may not change your car dependence or even your mind, but it offers up a good night’s laughs and, if you’re willing to delve further, some interesting and problematic thoughts as well."

LAist - Recommended

"...Performance artist Kristina Wong overshares—a lot—in her latest one-woman show at the Bootleg Theater. We learn things about her personal eco-life choices and hygiene habits that aren’t fit for dinner conversation. And we’re perfectly fine with it all because Going Green the Wong Way is a hysterical romp through green living and political incorrectness."

"...It’s a story full of humor, drama, frustration and eco-friendly fun."
