The Lotus Lee Foundation is a newly established 501(c)3 non-profit theatre organization based in New York City which is partnered with the Lotus Lee Drama Studios, a theatre company founded in Shanghai in 2015. Our mission goal is to engage in a cultural exchange between China and the United States, to produce new works in the United States and China while bringing original theatre pieces and the most innovative theatre technology to those with previously limited access to it.
Current primary projects include our New Work Initiative, Children's Play Initiative, Global Artist in China. All of these projects stem from a passionate desire to inspire and encourage young people to pursue a career in the arts and to offer them an opportunity to share their voices and stories on the international stage.
