The Gate Theater Group 

Enriching Community Through Dramatic Arts, Classical Stages, and Creative Storytelling. 

Welcome to Northern Thailand’s First English-Language Theater

For twenty years, The Gate Theater Group has served as a cultural bridge in Chiang Mai, bringing audiences together through the intimacy, power, and dialogue of live performance. As a US-registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization built on the ethos of "Theater Without Borders," we connect local Thai artists, international residents, and visiting storytellers to stage vital contemporary drama, timeless classical works, and socially conscious theater.

Step through our doors this milestone season for an unforgettable lineup of live performance at the AUA Auditorium:
