CBS held its first Asian Pacific American talent showcase in January 2002,

more than 125 writers for an informal evening of dialogue with CBS
Entertainment executives.

East West Players, the first and foremost Asian Pacific American theater in
the country, has for almost four decades created theater that gives voice to
the Asian Pacific Islander community -- producing a variety of different
plays including traditional classics, Broadway productions and works
specific to the Asian American experience. It is credited as a model for
the numerous other groups in the United States and Canada.

Other CBS showcases have included two Latino American Talent Showcases in
partnership with NOSOTROS, two Native American Talent Showcases in
association with American Indians in Film and Television and two African
American Showcases in collaboration with The Robey Theatre Company. More
events are planned with these and other groups.
