Hello, Pork Filled Phans,
Giving Tuesday is a week away (December 2), But don’t brush this off as another fundraising pitch!
What we do has impact!
At our last show, Exotic Deadly: Or the MSG Play, our ticket manager met folks from the 1.5 Gen Asians MeetUp group. This was the first time that they saw a PFP or SIS show and one said that they were happy they came and they absolutely “felt seen” (especially through the Ami and mom scenes). They were overcome by emotions that we put on shows through the AAPI lens and made their whole group feel seen and heard.
That means a lot for our future. About 20% of King County is Asian American (and growing!), but only 5% of roles in stage go to Asian actors. And Seattle is way behind in producing AAPI plays; there’s a list going around with nearly four dozen major Asian American plays that have yet to be produced in Seattle, despite the fact that the last two Gregory Award winners (Puget Sound’s Tonys) were Asian American productions.
PFP is fighting to change that.
Help us by donating. Whether it’s $5 or $500 dollars, your gift helps brings Asian American stories to Seattle area stages.
• $10 buys a paper script to put in an actor’s hands;
• $100 is three days rent for rehearsals;
• $400 buys a day on stage to present our stories.
NO GIFT IS TOO SMALL.
A generous donor has stepped up to match your gift from now until the end of the year (up to a total of $1,250). Your gifts gets doubled to give PFP a running start into 2026.
