Yang Shaolin

General Manager of the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Centre
Despite being a public-sector theater company, Shanghai Dramatic Arts Centre is also a very profitable theater organization. Its plays that deal with the angst and loneliness of the contemporary urbanites of Shanghai have succeeded in drawing white-color citizens to the theater in recent years and built an important mainstream audience. As a playwright who also serves as the theater’s programming and marketing director, Nick Yu, has played an especially important role in this success. Instrumental in nurturing the young local talent resource, establishing a solid base of profitability for the theater and helping produce works that answer the needs of the Shanghai audience is the Centre’s General Manager, Mr. Yang Shaolin.
