ABOUT NATIONAL ASIAN ARTIST PROJECT
National Asian Artists Project (NAAP) was co-founded by 2017 Isabelle Stevenson Tony Awardee, Baayork Lee, who originated the role of Connie in A Chorus Line, alongside professional theatre artists Steven Eng and Nina Zoie Lam. NAAP is a community of artists, educators, administrators, community leaders, and professionals, who recognize the need to build bridges between the work of artists of Asian descent, and the many communities that the work can serve. NAAP’s work extends through four core programs: Discover, a showcase of new musicals; Rediscover, revivals of classic American musicals re–envisioned with an all Asian cast; Broadway Community Chorus, a chorus composed of professionals and emerging artists; and educational programming including Theater Club, a partnership with P.S. 124—a local NYC elementary school.
