CSA's annual Heritage Night is a live performance of an adaptation of a traditional Chinese folk story. Each year we begin auditions in the Fall, with rehersals spanning most of the rest of the year, and ending with our performance in the early Spring. Auditions are open to all, staff, members and nonmembers alike. Take a look at some of the stories we've done in the past:
  • 2009
  • 2008
  • 2007
  • 2006
This year's upcoming Heritage Night will be centered on Justice Pao! Everything is still currently being prepared, so it's not too late to help out. If you are interested in helping in any way, from acting to props to anything else, visit the blogs here and here, or contact the director for this year, Kattie Lam for more info!
This year our Heritage Night is a musical adaptation of "A Chinese Ghost Story", featuring appearances by CSA Modeling, the HN Band, and an original stage production! It will be held Apr 15 at Northwest Auditorium, doors open at 6:30PM.
