The National Asian American Theatre Company was founded in 1989 by Richard Eng and Mia Katigbak to promote and support Asian American actors, directors, designers, and technicians through the performance of European and American classical and contemporary works. NAATCO performs this chosen repertory as written, with no forced Asian cultural associations.
