We bring Seattle’s Chinese bands, dance crews, comedians and theater makers onto one stage — and give new and independent artists a real spotlight.我们把西雅图的华人乐队、舞团、脱口秀和话剧社聚到同一个舞台，也给新团体和独立艺术家一个真正的大舞台。
About关于海棠社
Haitang Society is a nonprofit in the Greater Seattle area. Our mission is to promote Chinese performing arts and Chinese-American cultural exchange by presenting live performances with Chinese cultural elements, and by uniting the region’s community arts groups to share their work with everyone.海棠社是一家位于大西雅图地区的非营利组织。我们的使命是推广中华表演艺术、促进中美文化交流：呈现融合中华文化元素的现场演出，并联合本地的社区文艺团体，把他们的作品带给所有观众。
The name comes from the haitang, the Chinese flowering crabapple celebrated for centuries in poetry and painting, and from the 社, the artists’ circles where friends gathered to create together.“海棠”是千百年来诗词与绘画里反复吟咏的花；“社”取自古代诗社、文社的传统，志同道合的人聚在一起，共同创作。

Intimate nights of live music, stand-up, spoken word and hip-hop. Every two months in summer and fall.小而近的现场：乐队、脱口秀、诗歌朗诵、说唱。夏秋季每两个月一场。
AI can make a demo in seconds. A live show needs a soul — the people in the room are the part no screen can replace.AI 能很快做出 demo，但现场演出需要灵魂。人在现场的感受，是任何屏幕都替代不了的。
