July 1, 2007 - New York City hosted the first-ever National Asian American Theater Festival (NAATF) in June.
From June 11-24, more than 25 Asian American performing arts companies and solo artists from across the U.S. convened for two weeks of performances at venues throughout New York City, including Abingdon Theatre, Asia Society, Culture Project, The Flea Theater, La MaMa ETC, Nagelberg Theater/Baruch PAC, The Public Theater, West End Theater, Theatre Row's Beckett and Kirk Theaters in Manhattan; Queens Theatre in the Park; Pregones Theater in the Bronx; and Snug Harbor Cultural Center on Staten Island.
The participating theater companies and solo artists in the NAATF represent the tremendous diversity of the ever-growing Asian American population in the U.S. From states including, California, New York, Texas, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Arizona, and Minnesota, the works presented in NAATF reflect the writers' and performers' ethnic heritages from such countries as Cambodia, China, Japan, Korea, Laos, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and of course, the United States.
