Thank you for visiting!
Our crowdfunding campaign has ended, but you can still support Chinese American Culture Night by clicking here.
Hello all,
Thank you so much for supporting Chinese American Culture Night (CACN) 2018, All The Mornings After. It was because of your generous donations and support that we were able to put on such a successful show with over 1,000 attendees.
We are now working on this year's CACN. This year's story follows a group of students struggling to make the transition between college and adult life. The focus of the story is on Kevin, a young man overwhelmed by his parents' expectations, and his journey within the AAPI community on understanding mental health.
We are excited to put on this show, but we need your help. We want to continue to make this a free event as we recognize the importance of raising cultural awareness, so we call on you to help us reach this goal by sharing and checking out our new Spark page for this year's production.
Please check out CACN 2019's Spark Page for more information. We thank you for your continued support of this production, and we hope to see you at this year's show!
Best,
2019 CACN Board

We also wanted to share a little bit more about our story for this year's CACN. Our story is based on the events of the murder of Vincent Chin in Detroit of 1982 (incidentally the same year that the Association of Chinese Americans was founded on UCLA's campus). At the time, Japanese import cars were taking away American auto jobs, and in June 1982, two men killed Vincent Chin because they thought that he was Japanese. After years of judiciary trials, the men were charged with three years of probation and a $3000 fine, and did not spend a single night in prison. This event sparked widespread Asian American activism and protest; however, it is also now a story that is quickly becoming forgotten.
Please watch this video by the Jubilee Project, especially if you have never heard about who Vincent Chin was, as a teaser to our play this year! We on CACN Board have come to care so much for this tragic event, and we hope you will as well.
