SDAART
has been selected by the National Association of Ethnic Studies to be this year’s recipient of the Earnest M Pon Memorial Award!

"Asian American Repertory Theatre has been selected to receive the Ernest M Pon Memorial Service Award, which goes to a non-profit Asian American organization. The Asian American Repertory Theatre was one of several non-profit organizations that we looked at; most were health and social service organizations, all credible and worthy. In its twenty-year history of making this award, NAES has never given it to an art or theater group. Your website is impressive, with a wonderful history and collection of theater works that present Asian American culture with bounty and beauty. It reveals a successful fourteen years. Therefore, NAES is pleased to move outside the box, or the guidelines established for the award, in order to present this human rights recognition to you. The National Association for Ethnic Studies, founded in 1972, is an organization which addresses issues of civil rights and social justice; it has an academic focus with regard to culture as ethnicity and identity frame the discussion. Ernest Pon, for whom the award is named, was one of the first bilingual counselors in the state of California, at a time when there was a great deal of social unrest against newcomers from Vietnam. He worked as a counselor for just that population. He was taken from us at a young age, but not before he left an indelible mark. We affirm and celebrate his work by giving this annual award to deserving organizations."
