Celebrating the AANHPI Experience
Theatre Diaspora is Oregon’s only professional Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) theatre company, committed to portraying authentic AAPI cultural, historical, and social perspectives to reach broad audiences. By strongly advocating through compelling performances and post-show discussions, we are bridging communities to foster inclusion, social-awareness, and open conversations on race and cultural diversity – celebrating the AAPI experience.

Writing Workshops
This is a BIPOC Adoptee only event. Due to space, attendance is limited to 20 participants only.
Adoptees are too familiar with these clichè platitudes: Adoption is beautiful. Love transcends all. Race doesn’t matter. Adoptees should be grateful. These words are often weaponized against us when we speak our truths because, for too long, adoption narratives have been dominated by the limited perspectives of adoptive parents or the multi-billion dollar adoption industrial complex.
Theatre Diaspora is made possible with generous support from:
