Crossing Jamaica Avenue (CJA) is a multidisciplinary artist collective devoted to infusing cutting-edge contemporary American theater with time-honored Japanese theatrical aesthetics. CJA was founded in 1999 by a group of multidisciplinary and multicultural artists. Our company produces new plays, re-imaginings of classics, and a hybrid theater form that merges stories and poetry with music and movement. Our goal is to bring audiences an original theater experience, blended from the Western and Eastern aesthetics that constitute our signature.
