We believe that diversity and accessibility are keys to a healthy arts community in Toronto. Our mandate is to support and nurture Asian Canadian Theatre artists, and in doing so, we help to diversify Canadian theatre by helping to create more Asian Canadian actors, playwrights, designers, producers and theatre administrators. Through our work, we also seek to develop new audiences by engaging Asian Canadian communities and encouraging them to be more active participants in Canadian-made arts and culture.
