Building Asian American Theatre in Philadelphia

Rick Shiomi Building Asian American Theatre PhiladelphiaSomething extraordinary is happening in the Philadelphia theatre community. For the first time in American theatre history, a coalition of theatre companies has been formed to promote the development of Asian American theatre in its community. Just three years ago, there was a minimal presence of Asian American theatre artists in Philadelphia and today, there are a wide array of productions featuring Asian American artists in a variety of capacities.

This coalition of theatres is the Philadelphia Asian Theater Project (PATP) and it is changing the face of theatre in the city. In simple terms, this project has been integral to the doubling of participating Asian American theatre artists in the local theatre community this season compared to years prior to 2014.
