“The real challenge with artists of color is that you don’t get the same sort of basic support that a lot of artists who are not people of color get,” Pamatmat says. That’s where his home theatre has been crucial: It’s generally hard, he says, for artists of color to find companies to do readings or workshops of their plays early in their careers. “When I wasn’t getting any attention, I could always develop work [at the Ma-Yi Writers Lab].”
