Utah Shakespeare Festival

Spending the next four months in beautiful Cedar City, Utah!

I have the privilege of playing Queen Elizabeth in Richard III, Adriana in Comedy of Errors, and Thaisa is Pericles all in rep. Looking forward to a Summer of Shakespeare performing on the gorgeous outdoor Engelstad Theatre.

VIETGONE at THE ALLEY THEATRE

“Tong’s mother Huong (Desiree Mee Jung) provide superb comic relief throughout the show.”

– JESSICA GOLDMAN, HOUSTON PRESS

VIETGONE at THE ALLEY THEATRE

“Also giving powerful performances-in multiple roles no less-are Desiree Mee Jung (an unforgettable Vietnamese mother-hysterically funny).”

– DONI WILSON, HOUSTONIA

VIETGONE at THE ALLEY THEATRE

“Finally, in a masterclass of comic versatility, Desiree Mee Jung tackles the role of Tong’s mother as well as a military translator, a free-love hippy and any other parts that needs filling in this constantly moving memory-scape.”

– TARRA GAINES, PAPERCITY

VIETGONE at THE ALLEY THEATRE

“The best of these earlier scenes are comic turns – particularly the moments featuring Desiree Mee Jung as the mother of Tong. Her timing and Nguyen’s witty lines are sharp.”
