Reigning the Margins: Post-show talkback with Immigrant Theater Makers

With Cellunova Productions, CHUANG Stage, and ITA Initiative

Saturday, January 17, 2026

Immediately following the 2:00 PM performance of Juliet & Jul-Yingtai at Strand Theatre

This panel focuses on immigrant and diasporic theater-makers navigating language complexities, cultural heritage, funding inequities, and impossible translation. Panelists will discuss about the double bind of visibility and the emotional toll of producing work across borders, histories and expectations. The discussion highlights immigrant theater as both an artistic practice and community care that highlights both collective risk-taking and individual voices.
