Asian American Theater Company was established in 1973 by playwright Frank Chin to develop and present original works of theatre about Americans of Asian and Pacific Islander descent. In addition to being a producing company, AATC is a workshop where Asian Pacific Islander writers, actors and directors can explore ideas and create works that carry with them the AATC's purpose, which is to explore who Asian Pacific Islander Americans are as a people and as a community.
For many years the Asian American Theater Company was housed in The Asian American Center located near the corner of Arguello and Clement Streets in San Francisco’s ethnically diverse Richmond district.
The Theater Center suffered much damage from the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake but re-opened its doors a year later. In 1996 the Asian American Theater Company moved its administrative offices to Japantown and produced its plays in various theatre venues throughout the city such as the Off-Market Theater and the Thick House.
