GRATEFUL CRANE ENSEMBLE
Thank you for visiting the Grateful Crane Ensemble website. You'll find information here on our current performance schedule, upcoming projects and images from our past productions.
Our Mission
The Grateful Crane Ensemble is a non-profit theatre company whose mission is to create and present meaningful and entertaining bilingual programs for Japanese American seniors in appreciation of the many sacrifices they have made so the generations that followed could live a better life in America.
Ensemble Profile
Since July 2001, the Grateful Crane Ensemble has been performing nostalgic programs for seniors at the Keiro Retirement Home and throughout the Japanese American Community Through music, song and storytelling, the Ensemble honors, pays tribute to and remembers our Issei, Nisei and Kibei elders. It is our small way of "giving something back." It is our gift to you.
In 2003 the Ensemble received a grant from the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program which is allowing the current production to tour its Camp Dance: The Music and the Memories show to eight California cities in Spring and Summer of 2004.
