As the largest Asian American theater company in the Midwest, Theater Mu’s 2026/27 season emphasizes one simple truth: “We Belong.” The five-show slate puts the spotlight on often ignored histories, the strength of community, and the power of raising one’s voice. A mix of genres drives these universal themes home, including apocalyptic camp from local playwright Saymoukda Duangphouxay Vongsay; immersive theater co-presented with TaikoArts Midwest; and a one-person play by Jeanne Sakata that is celebrating its 20th anniversary while mourning the relevance of its topic, the US internment camps of WWII.

We are no longer “Mu Performing Arts”. We are Theater Mu.
Theater Mu is spelled t-h-e-a-t-E-R
Uppercase M. Lowercase u.
We pronounce our name as MOO, not MEW.
We are the theater that moves. Sometimes we rent out other venues (e.g., “Theater Mu at Mixed Blood Theatre”). Sometimes it’s a co-production (“Theater Mu and Jungle Theater present” or “A co-production with Penumbra Theatre”). Please keep in mind that it’s important to know the difference.
