ABOUT VERMILION THEATER  

Vermilion is an AAPI women-led non-profit organization that aims to uplift the voices of the Chinese diaspora by producing multilingual plays and hosting community engagement workshops that facilitate cross-cultural conversations. 

With the power of theater and creative storytelling, Vermilion aims to increase minority artist representation and instill a sense of social safety within the Chinese diaspora community. 

In recent years, Vermilion has expanded its community engagement effort by collaborating with existing grass-root organizations and hosting art-based workshops to create a safe space for the Chinese diaspora and promote collective healing through creative mediums – especially during the recent political shift and uncertainty.
