Overview

"With an increasing number of Chinese students studying in the United States, there is an observable phenomenon in which they tend to create their own community in order to secure a sense of cultural belonging. This thesis explores the process of establishing a theater group, emerging out of an interest in the possibilities of adapting Chinese theatrical works in a way that better connects various ethnic and cultural groups. Through in-depth interviews with different team members of a Chinese student theater group at Emerson College, it was found that the group shares the intentions to enact such organizations as a manifestation of their experiences, challenges, and future plans as international students. The thesis further discusses how these Chinese students run this particular theater group in the U.S." -- Abstract
