Description: Founded in 1989, Ma-Yi Theater Company is an Obie Award-winning, not-for-profit 501(3)(c) organization whose primary mission is to develop new plays by Asian American writers. We provide a home for generative artists to take big innovative risks and as they hone individual and collective skills. We encourage our artists to stake new creative territories by pushing Asian American Theater beyond easily identifiable markers. We challenge popular prescriptions of what culturally specific theater should be by producing challenging, forward-thinking plays written by today's most exciting playwrights. We aspire to be exemplars of how theater can be an active local partner to our diverse communities, while participating in larger, global conversations about our roles as artists/citizens. We are guided by knowing WHY and for WHOM we create.
