"Mother Russia" finds home at Seattle Rep
You might assume that Lauren Yee is a Seattle playwright. Since 2010, local theatre companies, small and large, have lined up to produce her work—from SIS Productions’ staging of Ching Chong Chinaman at the Richard Hugo House in 2010 to the world premiere of King of the Yees at ACT Theatre in 2017, to The Great Leap at Seattle Rep a year later, and Cambodian Rock Band at ACT Theatre in 2023, a co-production with The 5th Avenue Theatre.
