Chalk Repertory Theatre returns with its first fully-staged production since 2018’s Death And Cockroaches, an absolutely superb World Premiere staging of David Johann Kim’s mesmerizing Pang Spa.

The year is 2002, 50 years since Korean-born Tae Pang (Hahn Cho) met his then U.S. Army nurse wife Avy (Christopher Callen) during the Korean War and 20 years since Tae and Avy saw their three liquor/convenience stores burned to the ground during the L.A. riots.
