Theater Mu is excited to announce Anh-Thu Pham as its new Managing Director. The transition begins in July when Pham steps into the role and ends as out-going Managing Director Shannon Fitzgerald officially steps out on July 31. 

“I’m so excited to be joining the team. As a young person, I only saw representation of myself in images coming out of Asia. I love Theater Mu and the way it uses art to tell our Asian American stories, often from a Midwestern perspective. The spirit of Mu is invaluable and can't be found anywhere else.”

Pham is Vietnamese American with a background in finance and activism. As a refugee from Vietnam, she immigrated to Minnesota in 1975 and has since dedicated herself to community organizing and art. Pham comes to Theater Mu after working in finance for 22 years at the University of Minnesota. She has sat on the boards of Pangea World Theater, Ananya Dance Theater, and the New Arab American Theater Works. 

“Joining Mu will allow me to combine my passions for the Asian American community, activism, and the arts. I hope to be a part of the growing narrative of what it means to be Asian American.”
