SIS Productions, ReAct and Pork Filled Players are all performing arts companies which focus on developing the writing, acting, production and producing skills of local Asian American and multi-cultural talent. Rk Productions offers photography and web design services as well as tutorials in PhotoShop.
The Repertory Actors Theatre strives to produce quality theatrical entertainment using primarily multi-ethnic and non-traditional casting, by:
• Giving theatre artists of all backgrounds and skill-levels the opportunity to work together on mainstream projects that they might not normally have access to due to race, sex, age, or experience.
• Using our productions to help raise awareness, supplies and financial support for humanitarian and theatre-related charities and organizations.
• Developing in the general public, an increased appreciation for the dramatic and performing arts.
SIS Productions is a production company that strives to create, develop and produce quality works that involve Asian American women, their themes, and Asian American issues. SIS Productions encourages opportunities and support for Asian American women to be involved in all aspects of the production of artistic endeavors.
Since 1997, the Pork Filled Players have fielded both Seattle’s oldest sketch comedy group and the region’s longest running Asian American theatre group. They have appeared at Bumbershoot, Seattle Sketchfest the nation’s first non-profit sketch comedy festival;), SketchOff@%#? (Vancouver, BC), the first Asian North American sketch comedy festival); and the Seattle Fringe Theatre Festival. Equally adept at sketch comedy and traditional theatre, the Players use humor to whack away at notions of race, politics and social norms in 21st CenturyAmerica. The Players are fully armed in their mission to achieve maximum tongue-in-cheekiness, biting cultural and political satire and hilarious racial disharmony with their brand of Amazing Kung-Fu Griptm zaniness.
