NAATCOâs mission is to assert the presence and significance of Asian American theatre in the United States, demonstrating its vital contributions to the fabric of American culture. They present the following repertory: European and American classics as written with all Asian American casts; adaptations of these classics by Asian American playwrights; new plays â preferably world premieres â written by non-Asian Americans, not for or about Asian Americans, but realized by an all-Asian American cast; and new plays by Asian American playwrights that incorporate other performative arts and media. Their latest initiative, the NAATCO National Partnership Project, establishes relationships with theaters around the country to ingrain the inclusion of Asian American theatre artists, technicians, and administrators in their programming for the long run.
