A nonprofit theatre for Filipino and Filipino American stories in New York City.
Now Playing
A flight from Manila to New York opens into stories of Filipino immigrants: parents, cousins, and the songs that follow you across oceans. Six actors and a live band.
Sep 3 – Oct 11, 2026 · Pershing Square Signature Center
TicketsTagpuan means meeting place. We put Filipino music, language, family, and history onstage with Off-Broadway rigor and tickets more people can afford.
We rent venues around the city. No owned building. Student tickets, community nights, and galas keep the seats full.
Backed by a Founding Artist Circle including Lea Salonga, Olivia Rodrigo, H.E.R., and Eva Noblezada.
Tagpuan’s annual operating budget is $3.6M. The chart below compares that figure to peer nonprofit theatres in New York.
