More Pork Please

International Examiner, 3/98:
Previous to OPM's act, another Asian comedy troupe packed the NWAAT house with the same intent of tickling funny bones but to entirely different effect. This may have been their first time performing to an audience, but the Pork Filled 
Players' show "At Work: Makin' Bacon" proved both clever and humorous.
Situation comedies like "Fat Farm," 'Microsoft Airplane 1.0," and "Customer Satisfaction," proved Asian American actors were not limited to accents or forced to conceal their identity behind tacky cartoonish masks. With charming interactive dialogues and original characters and situations, PFP's actors displayed a scope of talent and exhibited a myriad of characters over the course of their 15-sketch show.
While PFP seeks an audience of "all ages," a few of the sketches seemed narrowly tailored to the computer-techie generation But PFP had other assets: the presence of a director, quick and inventive scene transitions (by spraying the stage with a fire extinguisher), bright acting and a cohesive ensemble.
Kudos to NWAAT for bringing PFP back for encore performances in May. With a catchy, intelligible name and promising debut, Pork Filled Players brings the neglected art of sketch comedy to the local Asian American theatre. This Bacon should not be passed up!
