“David Hsieh is the Founding Artistic Director of ReAct Theatre. In addition to his many ReAct credits, he has also directed for Taproot Theatre, SecondStoryRep, Tacoma Little Theatre, 14/48, Sis Productions, Pratidhwani, UW School of Drama, and others. As a performer, you may have seen him at Book- It in Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and The Brothers K, or at Seattle Public Theatre in The Happy Ones, A Very Die Hard Christmas, and Titanish, among other credits.”

ReAct Theatre could benefit from all kinds of volunteering, from ushers to marketing help to organizing the space to set design. Reach out to the theatre at react@reacttheatre.org. Also, as David mentioned in the episode, sometimes the best way to support the arts is to show up as an audience member.
