CHINESE REPUBLICANS

CHINESE REPUBLICANS is a regional premiere presented by Round House Theatre, written by Alex Lin and directed by Desdemona Chiang. The play follows a group of Chinese-American businesswomen who gather monthly for lunch to navigate corporate finance, strategy, and survival. When the youngest member, Katie, begins questioning the personal cost of ambition, the others push her toward the choices they believe she should make. Fresh from an off-Broadway run, this “stiletto-sharp and barkingly funny” story explores how to succeed within systems that demand both achievement and assimilation.
