Pork Filled Presentations

Mission

Pork Filled Productions is a theatre group that produces and develops genre plays, promotes Asian American and POC artists, and imagines fantastical, inclusive, and FUN universes. PFP envisions a bright universe informed by diverse experiences and perspectives populated by larger-than-life characters in worlds where everyone's story can be told.

Description

Pork Filled Productions/Players is the Pacific Northwest's longest running Asian American theatre group. PFP creates work that stretches the definitions of Asian American theatre, whether through sketch comedy (as Pork Filled Players) or through full-length plays (as Pork Filled Productions). We've been a longtime member of Seattle theatre and joyfully work with all parts of the community to advance Seattle Asian American theater artists.

PFP has a particular focus on genre work such as science fiction, fantasy, and horror, which are non-traditional subjects for Asian American theatre. In the past, we've presented Chinese pirate queens, supernatural romantic comedies, zombies/kung-fu/Shakespeare mash-ups, and steampunk extravaganzas.

For 2024

RISING

As the oldest Asian American theatre group in the Pacific Northwest, we have the responsibility to lead the community in our work on-stage. 

TOGETHER

We insure that the community's voice is heard. We produce shows for a desperately underrepresented group that aches to see their story on stage (20% of the population, 5% of the roles!). And we will bring Seattle’s Asian American stories to national stages! When we rise, we bring our communities with us!

Make us a POWERHOUSE of Asian American theatre locally and nationally by donating to our cause!!

 Our goal for 2024 is $5500 to produce and develop hopeful and fantastical theatre (like last year’s Bloodletting). You can give as little as $5, or as much as you want! Any amount is appreciated. The first $1200 gets matched, doubling your contribution's wallop! (And there are stretch goals!).

We have great projects for 2024!

• PFP producers are headed to the 2024 National Asian American Theatre Conference and Festival (ConFest) to learn and contribute Seattle’s unique stories to all Asian Americans;

• Journey of the Wind, co-produced with Jet City Improv, and improvised play inspired by Japanese animation like Studio Ghibli;

• Unleashed readings of The Inexplicable Redemption of Agent G June 20 and Warrior Sisters of Wu October 18;

• Kick-off 2025 Unleashed, as we workshop and premiere new genre plays from POC playwrights from around the country;

• Community Nights for Journey of the Wind and Vietgone;

• And in August, Vietgone by Qui Nguyen, the biggest play we have ever done!!

What a GREAT feeling, knowing we can come together to support Asian American communities, create art, and improve ALL of our lives.
