Donate to the Steven B. Jung Theatre Artist Fund
Steven Jung passed away on January 6, 2021. Steven’s wife, Wendy, and children, Brendan and Stephanie, have established through vAct the Steven B. Jung Theatre Artist Fund to annually fund an award to an emerging Asian Canadian theatre artist to further develop experience in the field of costume or set design or technical theatre.
Donate to the Joyce Lam Award Fund
Joyce Lam founded vAct in 2001. Writing was one of Joyce’s many passions and the Lam and Wong families are proud to establish this award in her name in hopes it can play some small part in the legacy Joyce leaves behind, to inspire and support Asian Canadians in the performing and creative arts.
