Set the Stage for Representation

East West Players is not just a theater company, but also a social justice organization blazing a trail for Asian Pacific Islander visibility, equity, and representation, on both stage and screen. As the first, oldest, and the largest producer of Asian American stories in American theater, we are also the incubator for the vast majority of Asian American talent working in the entertainment industry today.

Stocks and bonds can be one of the best ways to maximize a tax benefit when you donate! When you donate long-term assets (held for more than a year), you can generally deduct the current market value—for example, if you purchased $1,000 worth of stock over a year ago, and its current value is $5,000, you can deduct the full $5,000 when you donate the stock to a charity. Please consult your tax adviser for details.
