Fiscally Sponsored by Fractured Atlas

✅ 70% Funded — $14,000 Raised

We’ve already secured over $14,000 through early donations and grant support. However, the $20,000 goal displayed on this page does not reflect those existing contributions.

This fundraiser represents the final $6,000 needed to bring The Rice Eaters to New York for its off-Broadway premiere this August.

Any funds raised beyond our goal will allows us to more fully honor the time, talent, and hard work of our cast and crew.

🎭 We’re Live: Support The Rice Eaters Off-Broadway Premiere!

We’re proud to announce that The Rice Eaters by Yide Cai is making its off-Broadway debut this summer at the Broadway Bound Theatre Festival — and our fundraising campaign is now live through Fractured Atlas!

Your donation is fully tax-deductible and goes directly toward bringing this urgent new production to life. Set in a Chinese factory that mass-produces Van Gogh replicas, The Rice Eaters explores the price of survival in a system that values profit over people — with an international creative team from China, Hong Kong, and the U.S., led by director Gregory Keng Strasser.

🎟️ Tickets are now available!
