The Bootstrap Theatre is a group based in Hong Kong, staging contemporary, socially relevant theatrical work written by Filipino playwrights for an international, multicultural audience.
Its name, “Bootstrap”, embodies the theater group's go-getting, determined and passionate spirit.
We make it our mission to tell bold, thought-provoking, and relevant stories on stage that starkly and honestly reflect modern society through world-class theater productions.
By aiming to create an artistic and creative industry for Filipinos living in Hong Kong—from actors, dancers, and musicians to writers, directors and filmmakers, as well as backstage, administration and marketing personnel—we are able to showcase our heritage and truth not only to the Filipino community but to the larger international audience. This approach embraces the diversity and inclusivity that only theatre can bring.
