"The play is based on Chum’s own life, and his performance crackles with raw honesty. The audience participates in this astonishing journey of self-discovery, which is at times humorous, at other times dark and unforgiving in its depiction of the inner and outer conflicts of a second-generation immigrant. Chum performs with the weight from generations of anguish, yet with an honest smile and open heart. He is instantaneously likeable, charming and wildly entertaining."

"What Chum’s play can offer the audience is a chance to wrestle with those big ideas about heritage, identity and America. It’s not about providing the solutions to any of his questions or issues, it’s a matter of gathering a group of people together in that place called the theater and giving everyone the chance to just think for a while, to listen to the perspective of someone unlike themselves and really try to see and understand their world. It may seem like a small step, but it’s perhaps a step we need."

"I’m not going to divulge any more details than that, because this is one of those plays you just need to experience for yourself. I will say that Chum’s performance of his beautifully poetic play was well deserving of the standing ovation he received from the captivated audience."
