Los Angeles! Have a laugh the eco-conscious way. Our friend Kristina Wong's Going Green the Wong Way opens on June 28 and weaves comedy with Wong's real-life quest to pursue sustainable living. The show runs through July 22 at the Bootleg Theater:
GOING GREEN THE WONG WAY

A new eco-comedy written & performed by Kristina Wong
Directed by Paul Tei

June 28 - July 22

Thursday - Saturday at 7:30p and
Sundays at 3p | Tickets $15

Bootleg Theater is proud to present the Los Angeles Premiere of LA solo artist Kristina Wong's GOING GREEN THE WONG WAY. 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.

Following her run at Bootleg Theater, Kristina will be takingGOING GREEN THE WONG WAY to the famed Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Tickets are $15. You can purchase them here. For more information, check out the Facebook event. For more information about Kristina Wong, check out her website here.
