One-act musical submissions are now being accepted for National Asian Artists Project’s DISCOVER:New Musicals, a series of staged readings of new one-act musicals to be presented on May 23, 2011.

Writers need not be of Asian heritage, and musical need not be Asian-centric or themed, it only must be able to be explored and brought to life by a cast predominantly comprised of Asian actors.

Submission deadline is March 25, 2011. For more information and to download application materials please click

Welcome to National Asian Artists Project. NAAP is a community of artists, educators, administrators, community leaders, professionals, and much more.

Our Goals

NAAP believes that artists of Asian descent have many vital roles to play in the fostering of American communities.

  • Through thoughtful educational programming, we seek to present the richness of theatre arts to underserved children, fostering creative self-discovery and expression.
  • Support the artistic growth of theatre artists of Asian descent through professional employment opportunities.
  • Build and cultivate new local and national audiences that encourage patronage and participation in the arts, including predominantly Asian communities unaccustomed to playing a role in the local or national arts dialogue.
  • Capture and archive stories of prominent artists of Asian descent that they may be made available for future generations from which to learn and inspire.
