What's new?

2025

Directing: Japantown Returnings

May 31st, 2pm + 6pm, 2025

Japantown San Jose, CA - I'm honored to be taking part in this event as a director! The Japanese American Museum of San Jose (JAMsj), Wesley United Methodist Church, and Contemporary Asian Theater Scene (CATS) proudly present the world premiere of Japantown Returnings, an original theatrical staged reading with live musical accompaniment, commemorating 135 years of San Jose Japantown. I'm most excited to be helping shape the story as a tribute to honor the history that's taken place here in San Jose. And by history, I mean the resiliency of the people who helped nurture and build it to what it is now. Visit the event page to learn more about the program and to RSVP. I hope to see you there.

A Senior Sex Scandal Murder Mystery Musical

June 1st-29th, 2025

Center Repertory Theatre, CA - A senior sex scandal murder mystery MUSICAL - OH MY! This world premiere is a co-production with TheatreWorks Silicon Valley. The show closed at TheatreWorks last month but will find its second opening at CenterRep in June. It's super fun! And it also happens to be the first time I'm part of a production as a designer. In this case, I'm the projections content creator. You'll be able to see my work as an illustrator and graphic designer during the show; I'm proud to be supporting the story through my skills as a digital artist. It's got a stellar cast.

Multiverse of Gladness

TASI ALABASTRO is an Asian Pacific Islander and award-winning artist residing in California. Of the many things he believes in, he believes boredom is an essential part of the creative process and is always looking to explore that topic. He holds a special place in his heart for helping people bridge the gap between their ideas and execution; better 'done' than 'perfect' fuels his waking hours. He’s comfortable on-stage, on-camera, behind the camera, and wherever he might fit. That being said, he's also gained some weight during the Pandemic and tangentially learned which pants are better for work. Answer: None.


Recipient of the Silicon Valley Emerging Artist Laureate (2018) and the Leigh Weimer’s Emerging Artist Award (2019), Tasi has also been featured in the Silicon Valley Arts & Culture Magazine, CONTENT, and is a proud alumnus of the Multicultural Arts Leadership Institute (MALI). His work with Red Ladder Theatre Company involves facilitating workshops with marginalized communities; this includes incarcerated men and women in California Correction Facilities, Children on the spectrum, and homeless and runaway youth, all of which have been featured on KQED and Theatre Bay Area Magazine.


Tasi has also enjoyed the heck out of making content on Youtube, Twitch, and various social media platforms. His content and community can be described as goofy warm, casual, and oft-surprisingly insightful.

What does "OG" stand for?

Episode 9 - Self-improvement wasn't always something I conscientiously thought about when I was younger. Now in my adulthood, I think it's one of the most important things we can do for ourselves and the people we interact with. And there are tons of ways to do it daily.
