Her directing credits include the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Seattle Repertory Theatre, California Shakespeare Theater, Playmakers Repertory Company, and ACT Theatre. She directs in a variety of genres, including Shakespeare, new plays, and musicals. Early lifeChiang was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and immigrated to California in the United States when she was three years old. With the encouragement of her parents, she grew up thinking she would be a doctor.[1] She attended the University of California, Berkeley, with an intention to study pre-medicine. It was there that she found connection and community in the theatre department, and eventually graduated with a double major in Biology and Theatre. She then attended the University of Washington School of Drama for a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Theatre Directing.[2] CareerChiang is known for her visceral, no-nonsense approach to theatre, with her distinct point of view as an immigrant and Asian American woman. She articulates her interest in using theatre to spark social discourse: "What is the thing that we're not talking about? What is the thing that we think we're talking about, but we're not talking about, or no one's ever bothered to think about?"[3] In 2010, Chiang co-founded Azeotrope with her graduate school colleague Richard Nguyen Sloniker, to create theatre focusing on stories about invisible and marginalized people. Their most well-known production, Sound by Don Nguyen, was a bilingual show performed in American Sign Language and spoken English, and featured a mixed ensemble of deaf and hearing actors. Chiang learned American Sign Language for this project and co-directed with Seattle-based deaf actor Howie Seago.[4][5] Some of Chiang's most notable productions include a re-imagined The Winter's Tale at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival set in Dynastic China and New World America featuring an Asian American and multicultural cast,[6] As You Like It at California Shakespeare Theater where the forest of Arden is transformed into an urban jungle,[7] and a modern-day setting of The Crucible at PlayMakers Repertory Company.[8] In 2016, Chiang received The Vilcek Foundation's Award for Creative Promise in Theatre.[9] Awards and nominations{{unreferenced section|date=August 2018}}
