AATC Actors Incubator Collective

The AATC Actors Incubator Collective is a progressive program that aims to provide Asian American actors with a competitive advantage in the theater industry, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area, by:

(1) organizing an ongoing series of safe-space events for established Asian American actors to exchange ideas, support each other as peers, and serve as mentors to emerging actors;

(2) developing continuing-education programs to equip AATC actors with tools and resources that prepare them for a profession in a competitive market; and

(3) advocating the use of local actors in the San Francisco Bay Area theater industry.

Please send headshots/resumes and announcements of upcoming performances to actors@asianamericantheater.org.
