Paz/Joyce in The Rules of Charity

Sound Theatre Company

"Maile Wong (Paz/Joyce) provides the unexpected. Her character is the one with privilege and power and options. Yet she suffers from the same insecurities and self-doubt as the rest. Watching her almost practiced speeches to convince others of her importance is like seeing the inner child play grown up." -- Broadway World

Monty, who’s been writing a memoir, is reluctantly intrigued when LH tells him he met a documentary filmmaker, Paz (Maile Wong), who wants to interview him. But it quickly becomes evident she’s not interested in his expertise, just his disability. This trust-fund brat is a cartoon (she earnestly gushes about not realizing someone could be both disabled and gay), but her comments about a person needing to earn charity are mainstream conservative ideology. Belluso is pissed at this backhanded, condescending form of care, and rightfully so.

L in PEERLESS

ArtsWest

'Wong and Magin perform Park’s intricate webs of words effortlessly, a necessity for two characters whose abilities are just as polished as their ambitions. There’s a little extra-textual haughtiness here, seeming to say, “You thought this would be difficult for us? Please.' ... Wong’s L is gleefully ready to wreak havoc wherever necessary." -- The Seattle Times

Risa in Nadeshiko

Sound Theatre Company

"Risa (Maile Wong) is young, foolish and financially desperate, reluctantly trying to make a go of it in the glamorous world of pay-for-play cam sessions and Craigslist personal ads. She labors under the grouchy tutelage of her much more experienced cousin Sue (Mi Kang), who has long made a living at it. Sadly, Risa is quite a terrible sex worker, even on Skype." -- City Arts Magazine
