Eugenie Chan Theater Projects (ECTP) develops and produces the plays of Eugenie Chan, a 5th generation San Franciscan whose forefathers sold slippers in Chinatown, dry goods in the desert, and love in the bordellos. Eugenie combines myth, family lore, imagined histories, and humor to tell stories that capture the epic sweep of Chinese Americans in the American West.

MISSION
Eugenie Chan Theater Projects (ECTP) is dedicated to telling the untold stories of Chinese in the American West, stories that include Eugenie’s own family’s immigrant origins on the West Coast in the 1850s, as well as tales shared with Eugenie by fellow Asian Americans. Eugenie combines myth, family lore, imagined histories and humor to capture the epic sweep of these Asians in America.

VISION
ECTP seeks to make Chinese America visible. Our bold, risk-taking productions challenge mainstream performing arts and culture through educational rigor and artistic depth. We envision Asian American stories taking their rightful place as iconic reflections of the American identity.
