Lotus Lee Foundation is a newly established New York City based 501(c)3 non-profit theatre organization. Lotus Lee Foundation is partnered with the Lotus Lee Drama Studios, a theatre company founded in Shanghai in 2015. Our mission is to engage in a cultural exchange between China and the United States, to produce new works in the United States and China, and to bring new theatre and theatre technology to those with previously limited or little access to it.
Current primary projects include our New Work Initiative and our Broadway 101 video series. Both of these projects stem from a desire to inspire and encourage the youth into the arts and to give them an opportunity to share their voices and stories.
The New Work Initiative has officially CLOSED!

The New Work Initiative
The New Work Initiative's primary goal is to bring the best theatre from the United States to China and vice versa and to foster and encourage new voices to share their stories. This is why we’re interested in new works from artists like you. Through our open submission, you can submit your new works at no cost to you!
