SALAAM Theatre (South Asian League of Artists in AMerica) is a not-for-profit professional multidisciplinary theatre company celebrating South Asian American artistic excellence through creative risk-taking and experimentation that challenges all boundaries, connects all peoples and links all the arts in the spirit of progressive solidarity.   Established in the Summer of 2000, till today we still stand alone as the busiest and most ACTIVE South Asian American theatre/arts company anywhere.  We empower and sustain the careers of dedicated artists of ALL backgrounds, though we do prioritize the needs of our South Asian American Diaspora, who wish to further develop their craft in a nurturing and supportive environment.  In addition, we have found ourselves in the unique position of a resource for casting agents, talent agents and other industry folks seeking advice or assistance.

MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS – Become a treasured Jewel of SALAAM today and join our growing list of donors supporting our community of groundbreaking and creative persons.   Our first donor back in the year 2000 was the amazingly incredible stage director and designer Julie Taymor, writer and director of THE LION KING.   We encourage an annual donation but appreciate a one-time gift as well.  The most important membership benefit is the satisfaction of being part of a vibrant, energetic arts organization.
