This July, PINK FANG artists partnered with La Guardia Performing Arts Center () to bring theatrical story telling workshops to nursing students at LaGuardia Community College (CUNY) () to reflect on their journeys as future caregivers.

Led by our Artistic Director, Engagement Sara Zatz () and teaching artist C Meranda Flachs-Surmanek () students from the Nursing (Registered Nurse/RN), AAS program were invited to reflect on their journeys as health care professionals, using our interview-based and community-engaged theater practices to support self-expression, storytelling, and leadership development.

Across two in-person workshops and an online coaching session, students explored identity, caregiving, and communication — using the power of narrative to connect more deeply with themselves and those they will serve.

We’re honored to support the next generation of healthcare practitioners through the arts.

We mourn the passing of Ozzie Rodriguez, La MaMa's Archive Director. He was truly one-of-a-kind and we will forever remember how he brought the La MaMa archive to life, each time we visited. Pink Fang (formerly Ping Chong and Company) has been a longtime resident company of La MaMa, and we send love to his family, and the La MaMa family in this moment of deep loss.

In June, we wrapped up our Creative Aging program at Selfhelp Maspeth and Elmhurst Older Adult Center—and we’re still buoyed by and thinking about the stories, the laughter, and the dancing. Our Creative Aging program invites older adults to explore memoir, storytelling, and performance. Through a series of workshops, participants craft and share their stories in a final public celebration—rooted in documentary theater and collective memory.

Over ten weeks, participants in the program brought their memories into the room—sometimes through words, sometimes through treasured objects, always with heart. Music from their cultures filled the air, and their voices filled the space with joy, reflection, and connection.

One moment we’ll never forget: the “Swan Goose Song,” when everyone—elders and teaching artists alike—flew across the room like birds. Longing for home, and yet completely together.

Thank you to our incredible teaching artists: , and

Our three year transition period was made possible in large part through support from a transformative grant from oundation. We're honored and excited to be featured on their website! Our Interim Artistic Leadership Team sat down with Mellon to share about our evolution into Pink Fang, a bold reimagining rooted in Ping Chong's legacy, now led by new voices. We reflect on the transition, and our inspirations, hopes, and the future of Pink Fang.

Hidden Voices is a new curriculum developed by Pink Fang (formerly known as PCC), which draws from Ping Chong's interview and documentary theatre methodology (Undesirable Elements) to illuminate AAPI identity and experience in the U.S.

On June 18th, this new initiative launched at Carnegie Hall, where our Education Director Christina Bixland , with Teaching Artists Chaesong Kim and Amy Zhang , introduced the powerful new curriculum to middle school theater and social studies teachers from NYC Public Schools.

Huge thanks to Peter Avery (Director of Theater, NYC Public Schools Arts Office) for championing this work, and to our fellow curriculum partners at Repertorio Español and Epic Theater Ensemble for sharing the space. Most of all, thank you to the incredible teachers who showed up after hours because they believe students deserve culturally responsive curricula and high-quality arts education.

This is how change starts.

PCC is now Pink Fang.

We create bold new works of performance.
We are a home for daring artistic experimentation, where we expand the boundaries of theater and nurture creative communities of care.
We are generative, collaborative, and our co-creation process digs deeply into community-specific histories and narratives.
Our new name is a subversive reclaiming of a distortion. It originates from a piece of mail that arrived in the 1990’s meant for Ping Chong, but with an unintentional mangling of his name into Pink Fang.
On Monday, June 23rd, we gathered at La MaMa Galleria for a public reveal of our new mission, leadership, and name. It was powerful, joyful, and deeply moving. We move forward, grounded in and for this rich, beautiful community of humans.
