What it says it does

Yangtze Repertory Theatre is an Obie-winning non-profit theater company that has been producing and presenting theatrical works by, for, and about the AAPI community for over 30 years. Founded in 1992 by Maryknoll Sister Joanna Chan, Yangtze Rep has been a home for artists whose works are not readily seen in the U.S. Since 2017, we have been focusing on supporting artists from the AAPI immigrant community through productions, residencies and commissions, and developing new works that shine a light on stories rarely told.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $30,032 spent. Our AAPI Artist Residency Project YZ celebrated the work of Cohort 4 artists, our senior class, through three distinctly different artistic endeavors. We traveled to 1940s' South Korea in the epic journey of Jesse Jae Hoon's The People's Committees; we followed 50-plus years of love and friendship in modern-day China in Jo Mei's documentary play Fallen Leaves; and finally, we gathered for Julia Gu's solo performance, Journey To The..., following an immigrant actor navigating her life in the United States. The program supported 34 artists, +80% AAPI.
  2. $10,117 spent. Part of our Commission program, we continued to support Marcus Yi's new musical, When the Fortune Cookie Crumbles during the 25-26 season. In September, we hosted another two-day workshop session working with six actors and a dramaturg to delve deeper into the story, dialogues and character development, followed by a February workshop focusing on the music and recording sessions. The program supported 22 artists.
  3. $13,598 spent. We presented an industry reading of Hua Mulan, a new musical by Jason Ma, at Pearl Studio. Inspired by the legendary 5th century Chinese folk heroine, and co-directed by Billy Bustamante and Chongren Fan, Hua Mulan features an ensemble cast of 14 led by Ali Ewoldt as Madam Hua and Maybe Happy Ending's Claire Kwon as Mulan. Positioned as an event for the community, the reading was by invite only and targeted at an audience that identifies as AAPI. More than 80 people attended the reading.
