    Incisive writer and performer Kristina Wong mixes sharp humor and psychology in Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, a swear-to-god-not-autobiographical, serio-comic portrayal of the high incidence of anxiety, depression and mental illness among Asian American women. Tangling, spinning, and mixing yarns, she asks: Which came first? The sky-high suicides of Asian American women? The maddening world? And when the heck do we get to climax? Wong's irreverent and provocative work has given her a national cult following for 'politically charged art with unapologetic humor'. Knitters, cuckoo and not, are invited to knit in the audience during the show. Free yarn giveaways from ArtYarns (flash your sticks and hooks!). This performance is apart of the Throws Like a Girl Performance Series.
