Currently, we are not seeking applications for our playwright cohorts.
Learn about our most recently announced cohort, the Mu Tang Clan Vol. 3.
We are always looking for enthusiastic teaching artists to join our growing team. Theater Mu connects with multiple youth and community programs throughout the year, including school residencies, summer camp, public library events, and special workshops focused on theater, social justice, and other topics.
Each Mu classroom is led by talented Asian American theater artists and artist educators who often have extensive formal theater arts training and a wide array of professional and personal experiences. As educators, they bring their whole selves to share their expertise in theater arts and storytelling, working with others, and Asian American identity.
If you are interested in working with Theater Mu, please contact our interim education & programs manager, Sydney, at sydney@theatermu.org.
Theater Mu welcomes script submissions for consideration in upcoming seasons. Before submitting, please carefully consider whether the script fits Theater Mu’s mission. Theater Mu is unable to respond to every submission; there is no need to contact us to inquire about the status of your script or for feedback. If we have questions or would like to proceed with your script, we will contact you when the time is right.
