In order to propagate U-Theatre's artistic ideals as well as give back to society, the troupe has emulated the practices of the Shaolin Monastery. There, the monk Sande established the "36th Chamber of Shaolin" to pass on the martial arts of the monastery to local villagers.
為了推廣「優」的藝術理念，並且回饋社區，優人劇團效法少林寺三德和尚傳授村人武功健身而開設「少林 36 房」的精神，承接了北市文山區藝文中心的永安館，成立「表演 36 房」。
