Theater Mu
Theater Mu began as a dream in the Spring of 1992, as Rick Shiomi, Dong-il Lee, Martha Johnson and Diane Espaldon got together to imagine an Asian-American theater based in the wheat fields of the Midwest. We began with our seminal work Mask Dance. We tapped into the canon of Asian American plays with Yellow Fever, Paper Angels, and The Sound of a Voice, and have since produced new works such as River of Dreams, Legend of the White Snake Lady, Hand Women/ Men Swing, The Walleye Kid, Circle Around The Island, The Tale of the Dancing Crane, Maui and the Soul of the Sun,and Tiger Tales: Hmong folktales. Through our annual New Eyes Festival, we continue to cultivate new plays and playwrights, and our outreach programs to schools, community organizations and corporations are expanding exponentially so that we are now reaching an audience of over 50,000 people annually. Our company has grown rapidly over the past ten years, both artistically and organizationally, with no letup in sight. In this our tenth season, it is exciting to look back and see so much groundbreaking growth, and look forward to so much more potential.
