Jaemi Theatre Company was founded in 2025 by Youri Kim and Juyoung Koh. Despite DC being one of the largest theater markets in the country, no company was specifically API-led. Jaemi was built to close that gap: to develop and stage interdisciplinary new work rooted in diasporic imagination and radical storytelling.

Our inaugural production, BAAL, premiered as a staged reading at the Atlas INTERSECTIONS Festival in March 2026 to a near-capacity audience.
