The contents of this report were collected to represent diverse perspectives expressed and brought about by the framework of the conference. The transcribing of the time line and conference survey comments is unaudited, and the dates and accuracy of the timeline have not been verified. The conference survey comments should not be inferred as a reflection of opinions of all attending as a whole but those of individuals who provided feedback in the surveys. These comments are meant to present a transparent reflection of the conference so that we may learn from this experience in preparation for the next conference. 1 Introduction After three years of planning, the first-ever National Asian American Theatre Conference convened in Los Angeles, California at East West Players in June 2006, marking the first time that leaders of Asian American theatres, Asian Pacific performing arts programs and groups, individual artists and academics had the opportunity to assemble with the primary mission of bringing Asian American theatre and performance to the forefront of the genre. The momentum from this event has created a movement to ensure that Asian American theatre and performance continues to grow, thrive, educate, enlighten and even lead the American theatre scene. The outcome of this conference was one of positive inspiration and the realization that, despite the challenges that affect all arts groups across the country, the concept of Asian American theatre continues to grow and expand.
