EnActe Arts was founded in 2012 in response to the underrepresentation in the theatre of South Asians and their respective storytelling. It differentiated itself from other “South Asian” theatre companies by being an American Contemporary Theatre Company that embraces a diverse stakeholder group, casting beyond the South Asian community, and fostering collaboration. EnActe Arts is a talent incubator and a platform for engaging diverse populations in conversations on social issues to create greater awareness and tolerance from a South Asian perspective. Both, EnActe’s performance programs and EnActe Academy are rooted in developing talent and creating opportunities for actors, playwrights, and creative and technical production staff at any skill level and of all ages and ethnicities. Participants of EnActe’s professional development experiences have gone on to paid professional positions, including joining the paid staff of theatre and non-profit professionals at EnActe Arts. From EnActe Art’s off-stage home, known as the EnActerium, EnActe has produced and performed shows in various cities including Houston, San Francisco, San Jose, Boston, Exeter, and Seattle. Many of these productions were presented in partnership with distinguished universities and arts organizations such as Emerson Arts College, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, Asian Art Museum (SF), Philip Exeter Academy, The Menil Collection (Houston), and Seattle Asian Art Museum. EnActe Arts is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization co-located in Silicon Valley, California and Houston, Texas. The term ‘South Asian’ is used broadly by EnActe Arts to represent the people of the greater Indian subcontinent living in the region and abroad, including the historical cultural influences of the region.
