David Chiu is the marketing and communications manager at The Braid theatre company, the nation’s leading Jewish storytelling theatre. He is the son of a Litvak, a Lithuanian Jew, and an immigrant from Hong Kong. He is also one of the writers of the true stories that make up “L’Chaim America!,” a touring production featuring a wide range of voices from a racially, culturally and geographically diverse community.
“L’Chaim America!” is one of many projects supported by the National Endowment for the Arts as part of AMERICA 250, the national nonpartisan organization tasked with engaging every American in celebrating and commemorating the country’s 250th anniversary.
Chiu joined the project when The Braid’s artistic director/founder and story curator/adapter Ronda Spinak asked if he had a story to share. He had written works for The Braid in the past and was one of the co-producers of “What Do I Do with All This Heritage?” about Asian American Jews. . . .
