Theatre Diaspora to Present FAMILY TIES THAT BIND Fundraiser in November

Theatre Diaspora, Oregon's only professional Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) theatre company, have announced "Family Ties That Bind," a staged performance comprising local AAPI artists on their stories revolving around the term "family". The event will also serve as an annual fundraiser on November 6 at Curious Comedy Theater (5225 N.E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Portland, OR 97211), starting at 6:30pm. Ticket reservations are $5 per person, including both an online and in-person raffle for a variety of items such as performing arts and cultural events.

The event will feature performances by Joe Kye, Frances Lu Pai Ippolito, Larry Toda, Alex Haslett, Lilly Do, Cassandra Pangelinan, Ari Chadwick-Saund, and more.

"Our performance of 'Family Ties That Bind' will allow local artists to share their narratives about family connections for a live theatre experience. We also hope to raise at least $2500 during this event to help produce live staged readings on AAPI experiences in the coming year, particularly with the racial, societal, and political turbulence seen in recent years," said Samson Syharath, Managing Artistic Director
