The Vietnamese Student Association at the University of California, Berkeley strives to reflect the diverse, vibrant, and dynamic Vietnamese population on campus.  Cal VSA’s annual Culture Show is one such way through which this goal is achieved.  Since the establishment of Cal VSA in 1978, the annual VSA Culture Show has brought together students to produce a theatrical production of music, art, dance, drama and prose.  The annual VSA Culture Show is best known for this integration of creative disciplines.

Ultimately, the show provides a unique performance space for creative expression by Vietnamese Americans on the Berkeley campus.  Beyond this however, Culture Show is more than just one final night of performance.  It is a process through which new friendships are built and Vietnamese culture is explored and learned.  It is an unforgettable experience for its participants through the long practices, late nights, tireless devotion to the show, and most importantly, priceless bonding with one another.

Family, friends and community leaders from all backgrounds are welcome and encouraged to partake in this experience. For some, it may bring back memories of their childhood; for others, it may give a different perspective on a new culture.  Cal VSA invites anybody and everybody to join us in this yearly celebration of the unique Vietnamese spirit, history, and culture.
