This is our newest program at CHAT, bringing back the theatre roots of the organization. The ultimate goal of DabNeeg Theatre is to encourage Hmong artists to fill all artistic aspects of the theatre world, from actor to designer to director; Hmong Artists tell their stories through all art forms.

The first production of this program is Hmong-American playwright May Lee-Yang’s Stir Fried Pop Culture. Highly received by the Twin Cities Community in January, the play will go on tour to Colleges throughout MN and WI in April and May in celebration of Asian Awareness Month.

Some comments received after the performances at Mounds Theatre in January:

“The directing was two thumbs up. I loved how each and every scene was intense, funny, and educational.”

“Good Play—I liked it. It made me appreciate my culture more.”

“I really enjoyed how Hmong people were portrayed—it’s so true that Hmong people aren’t being represented correctly!”

“This was a great experience.”
