In the mid-1980s, its socially conscious production
I Am Hong Kong (1985) gained widespread attention for exploring themes of
local identity and belonging during the politically sensitive period following the introduction of election to the
Legislative Council of Hong Kong and the signing of the
Sino-British Joint Declaration in 1984. The production is widely regarded as a milestone in the development of Hong Kong theatre. Over the decades, the company has nurtured numerous playwrights, directors, and actors, and has actively promoted community and educational theatre. In 2018, Chung Ying Theatre Company established Hong Kong's first theatre archive to preserve performing arts heritage, housing scripts, photos, playbills, manuscripts, and other materials, while also documents
oral history. ==Gallery==
