Billed as the nation’s premier Asian American theatre organization, the East West Players give voice to the Asian Pacific American experience. The theater where the company performs is named for the author of such plays as M. Butterfly and Yellow Face.

Since 1965, the company has offered productions ranging from popular Asian American works to mainstream musicals and plays with an Asian American twist. Recent shows of note include Dan Kwong’s Be Like Water, Julia Cho’sDurango, the musical Pippin, and Susan Kim’s The Joy Luck Club, based on the novel by Amy Tan.
