To our valued friends and theater community,
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the postponement of our upcoming production of The Gin Game, originally scheduled for April 23–25 at the AUA Auditorium.

Due to an ongoing health challenge with glaucoma my doctor has told me that I need to step back and prioritize my health and vision immediately. As a result, I am unable to move forward with the performances as planned. This was a difficult decision to make, but it is necessary to ensure I can return to the stage at full strength.
We are currently working on securing new dates for later this year and will share those with you as soon as they are confirmed.

For Ticket Holders:
• Refunds: Full refunds will be processed automatically via our ticketing platform.
• Questions: If you have any immediate concerns, please reply [email protected].

I am deeply grateful for your understanding and for the incredible support you’ve shown The Gate Theater Group during our 20th Anniversary season. We look forward to seeing you in the audience very soon.
Warm regards,
Stephan Turner
Artistic Director, The Gate Theater Group

The momentum for "Raise The Gate" has been incredible!
A huge thank you to the 50 amazing supporters who've donated and shared our campaign. Your generosity has already pushed us to 67% of our goal!

For those new to our community, The Gate Theater has been a cornerstone of Northern Thailand’s Chaing Mai arts scene for the past 18 years. In 2015 we expanded our vision by incorporating as a non-profit tax exempt organization in Gary Indiana, the home of The Gate Theater’s founder Stephan Turner. We are dedicated to bringing thought-provoking and engaging theatrical experiences to our audiences, showcasing both established and emerging talent.

As we look forward to our 19th season, we have some exciting plans in store! We're aiming to present a diverse lineup of productions, including documentary, comedy, and drama. We also plan to expand our community engagement through student matinee performances, workshops for aspiring actors, and post-show discussions with the cast and creative team.

Reaching our goal of $8,500 will be instrumental in making these plans a reality. We're so close – just $2,820 away from making our 19th season at The Gate Theater truly shine! Every single dollar you contribute makes a real difference. Please keep sharing our campaign and help us reach that finish line. Together, we can make sure The Gate continues to be a vital and inspiring part of our communities in both South East Asia and Northwest Indiana for many years to come!

Our Story

OUR MISSION

The Gate Theater Group is a nonprofit social organization operating as a membership-based club which is legally recognized in Thailand as a Group of People or Ordinary Partnership and whose mission is as follows: ​ To contribute to the enrichment of Chiang Mai's cultural life through the production of English language theater within the greater Chiang Mai community. We accomplish this through the production and performance of plays and workshops that are relevant to a diverse segment of the local population.

Objectives supporting this mission are:

To produce approximately three productions per year, giving preference to one play by a Thai playwright or one that has been translated from Thai into English whenever feasible; to be recognized as a significant cultural asset by the local community; to develop and draw from local talent to the maximum extent possible; to enhance development of youth in the theater arts through cooperative ventures with local schools via workshops.
