Theater Mu

THE WORK CONTINUES: SUSTAINING ASIAN AMERICAN STORIES OF COURAGE, IDENTITY, AND COMMUNITY

For over 30 years, Mu has been a cultural home and artistic sanctuary, uplifting Asian American stories of resilience, love, identity, and belonging. In a world where Asian American narratives are too often overlooked, censorship threatens artistic expression, and theaters nationwide face funding cuts, Mu stands firm in our mission.

This spring, Mu premiered Fifty Boxes of Earth, a groundbreaking story of a nonbinary immigrant navigating identity in a new land. This summer, we continue that mission with Stop Kiss, a powerful exploration of love, violence, and the courage to live openly. Centering an Asian American and LGBTQ+ narrative, Stop Kiss challenges injustice while celebrating connection and community.

At a moment when LGBTQ+ and immigrant identities are under attack, these stories are not just theater. They are acts of visibility, empathy, and resistance.

Minnesota has a strong arts ecosystem, but individual donors are the ones who ensure that Mu can continue telling bold, uncensored stories—stories that reflect the 54.6% of Minnesota's Asian American community who are immigrants or refugees, and the many LGBTQ+ individuals who deserve to see themselves represented on stage.

Your donation today ensures that Theater Mu can continue amplifying voices that need to be heard—whether it's through Fifty Boxes of Earth, Stop Kiss, or the next 30 years of transformative storytelling.

The work continues—thanks to you.

Give today. Because our stories matter. 

Because our community matters.
