Cambodia Backstage
Experience the live arts of Cambodia
Capture the essence of Cambodian arts and culture through an evening of authentic dance, music, and eats. We invite you and your family to join us at The Monkey and The Rat on Thursday, August 16, 2007 starting at 7:00 p.m.
This event sponsors the development of the only indoor theatrical performance center in rural Cambodia. Your attendance supports the Reasmey Angkor Bassac Theater Troupe, a Cambodian performing arts company striving to revive its ancient theatrical heritage.
We offer you a unique opportunity to purchase a brick to be used in the building of this theater. In addition, a percentage from sales of merchandise will be donated directly to the theater. We look forward to connecting you with the arts and culture of Cambodia!

First and foremost, a high salute to Helena de Crespo for opening her heart the people of Cambodia, in particular the Reasmey Angkor Bassac Theatre Troupe. A highly respected actress with experience in film and television, broadway shows, comercials, voice overs, and nameless others. Moved by her experience with the Reasmey Angkor Bassac Theatre Troupe, she has empowered her small army of humanitarians to help support a theatre troupe desperately trying to keep a dying art alive.
