Thai Theatre Showcase 2024: Bridging Artists and Community

The Thai Theatre Showcase is a dynamic community gathering that unites Thai artists with audiences from diverse backgrounds. Designed to foster connection and cultural exchange, this event invites American theatre enthusiasts, Thai and Thai-American communities in New York, and anyone passionate about contemporary Thai theatre and supporting Thai artists to come together in celebration of creativity and collaboration.

This year, the showcase is free entry with a suggested donation to support our work in championing contemporary Thai theatre and uplifting Thai artists in the U.S. Guests will also enjoy a culinary treat: delicious Thai dishes from a famous Thai restaurant in New York City, making the evening a feast for both the soul and the senses.

The event will feature captivating performances from artists across multiple disciplines, including Thai musical composers, lyricists, playwrights, actors, singers, songwriters, dancers, and choreographers. These talented individuals will share their unique perspectives and present works that blend traditional influences with contemporary innovation.

The showcase is a space where artistry meets engagement. Audiences and performers connect through shared stories and innovative expressions of Thai culture. By opening a dialogue between artists and their community, this event builds relationships that transcend the stage, inspiring understanding and collaboration across cultural lines.

We aim to uplift Thai voices while allowing audiences to explore Thai theatre's vibrant and contemporary landscape. Together, we create an environment where art becomes a bridge, connecting people, ideas, and cultures.

The showcase will happen on Wednesday, December 18, from 6 - 9 pm EST.
