This past weekend, Los Angeles helped celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Consortium of Asian American Theaters & Artists (CAATA), the national network dedicated to advancing the field of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander theater. Hosted by LA-based companies Artists at Play and East West Players, special events included two Asian American plays, a Saturday reception, and Sunday panel.

Many thanks to Artists at Play Board Member Parvesh Cheena for helping gather friends & collaborators at a recent performance of THE DANCE AND THE RAILROAD!

We've heard you, and we agree. THE DANCE AND THE RAILROAD is 1867 Chinese Labor Strike fanfic and it's a juicy one. So we thought we'd have a bit of fun.

NOW ONLY TWO WEEKS LEFT, many thanks to everyone who has joined Artists at Play for THE DANCE AND THE RAILROAD. Here are photos from our post-show talkback presented in partnership with the Chinese American Museum. Titled "The Mythmaking of (Asian) America: Uplifting Immigrant Histories Through the Arts," the panel featured Asian American artists whose work highlights everyday people often overlooked by history.

How many birds can you hear in THE DANCE AND THE RAILROAD? Bring your favorite bird-lover & "friend who got really into bird-watching during the pandemic" to the show! 🎟️ link in bio.
