New Heritage Theatre Group is the oldest active Black nonprofit theater company in New York City, established in 1964 by Roger Furman and later led by Voza Rivers and Jamal Joseph. Programs within the organization include the IMPACT Repertory Theatre, and the film production company New Heritage Films. Since its founding in 1964, the New Heritage Theatre Group has produced and presented theatrical, film, concert, and music productions.

Early history

The New Heritage Theatre Group was established in 1964 as the New Heritage Repertory Theatre by Roger Furman, who was a playwright, director, and actor, initially as a street theatre company.[1][2] Furman's theater career in Harlem began at the American Negro Theater in the 1940s, and he founded the New Heritage Repertory Theater with HARYOU-ACT, a federally financed social program in Harlem.[2][1] Ruby Dee, Sidney Poitier, and Harry Belafonte joined the theatre as actors in its early location at a library on 130th Street.[2] In 1966, Furman received a $48,000 youth theatre education grant from federal anti-poverty funds.[2]

Plays produced under Furman's leadership include The Long Black Block (1972),[3] which won an AUDELCO award for excellence in Black theater.[1][4] Other productions in the more than 35 plays during his leadership of the organization include On Strivers Row,[5] The Cat Walk,[6] Fat Tuesday, Rashomon, and Monsieur Baptiste the Con Man.[1]

New leadership and name change

In 1983 upon Furman's death, Voza Rivers took over leadership as the Executive Producer and changed the name of the organization to New Heritage Theatre Group.[2][7] Katsuya Abe joined in 1987[8] and became the Director of International Relations.[9] Jamal Joseph became the Executive Artistic Director in 1997.[7] In December 2024, Daniel Beaty was named the creative producer.[10]

Divisions

IMPACT Repertory Theatre

IMPACT Repertory Theatre is the nonprofit youth division of New Heritage Theatre Group, which was founded in 1997 by artistic director Jamal Joseph, his wife Joyce Joseph, screenwriter Alice Arlen, and Voza Rivers.[11][12][13] The program focuses on arts education and leadership training,[14] as well as community service.[11]

In 2008, the program received an Oscar award nomination for Best Original Song for their song Raise It Up from the movie August Rush starring Robin Williams.[15][16][12] In December 2014, IMPACT performed a 20-minute piece in front of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge alongside youth performers from youth empowerment organizations The Door and the CityKids Foundation.[17]

Live performances have included the Plaza Hotel, the Green Haven Correctional Facility, and the Apollo Theater.[15] IMPACT has also appeared on television programs broadcast on ABC,[16] CBS, NBC, and Fox, and in the film Disappearing Acts.[18]

New Heritage Films and the Harlemwood Film Festival

New Heritage Films and the Harlemwood Film Festival[8] explores issues of the African diaspora through film. Annually, New Heritage Films features documentaries and films in the Harlem community from emerging and established filmmakers through the Harlemwood Film Festival.

New Heritage Fillms productions include Hughes' Dream Harlem (2002),[19][20][21] Savoy King (2012),[22] A-Alike (2003), Sonia Sanchez: Shake Loose Memories (2011) Percy Sutton: A Man for All Seasons, Da Zone, Drive By: A Love Story (1997), The Black New Yorkers, Burning Sands, The 95th Anniversary of the National Urban League, The 110th Anniversary of The Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce, Harlem is...Music, Harlem is...Theater,[23] and Harlem is... Gospel.[24]

International Programming

South Africa

In 1984, Phyllis Yvonne Stickney, an actress and co-producer at the New Heritage Theatre Group, worked with Duma Ndlovu to co-produce the New Heritage Theatre Group production of the play Woza Albert!, performed by South African actors including Percy Mtwa and Mbongeni Ngema, which was on tour in the United States.[25][2]

In 1986, Ngema returned to the New Heritage Theatre Group with South African actors for a production of his play Asinamali! by Voza Rivers, Ndlovu and Andre Robinson Jr., several weeks after the local promoter of the show had been killed by a mob in South Africa.[26] New Heritage Theatre Group additionally produced Sarafina! in 1987, and Rivers continued working with the playwrights and actors to develop an international tour for the show.[2]

In 2014, the New York City organization Community Works expanded its historical exhibit about Black theatre to include the collaboration of New Heritage Theatre Group and the Lincoln Center with the South African playwrights, their plays, and the actors.[27][28][29]

Japan

The connection between New Heritage Theatre Group and Japan began in 1986 when Voza Rivers and Katsuya Abe met at the Apollo Theater.[9] From there, Abe worked with Harlem groups to coordinate then-Japanese Crown Prince Akihito's 1987 visit to Harlem.[9] After that, Rivers and Abe developed the "Art of Black America" tour for Japan, which included music, theatre, and art, and Abe became the director of international relations at New Heritage Theatre Group.[9] Rivers and Abe also produced events in New York City, including "Do Enka, East Meets West" at the Museum of the City of New York in 2010.[9] In 2012, New Heritage Theatre Group produced the 100th anniversary of the Sakura Cherry Blossom Festival in Harlem.[30]

Collaborations

Shades of Truth Theatre

Shades of Truth Theatre and New Heritage Theatre Group have produced a variety of plays, including Camp Logan and Greenwood: An American Dream Destroyed by Celeste Bedford Walker.[31] In 2019, the groups produced The Day Harlem Saved Dr. King, directed by Michael Green.[32] In 2025, the groups produced Postal Madness with Michael Anthony Productions at the American Theatre of Actors in New York City.[33]

Together they have also presented Jeff Stetson's The Meeting at venues throughout the Tri-State area and across the United States, as well as Black Wall Street: Ten Stories High, a series of short plays that chronicle the rise and fall of successful Black towns that were established during and post-reconstruction.

Take Wing and Soar Productions

Take Wing And Soar Productions is a nonprofit theatre company founded by Debra Ann Byrd to support women, youth, and classically trained actors of color,[34][35] which joined with New Heritage Theatre Group to create the Harlem Shakespeare Festival in 2013.[36][2] The annual Festival's mission is to foster understanding and unity in the arts by producing special events and plays with diverse casts and to create center stage opportunities for classically trained actors of color. Productions have included an all-female, multi-racial production of Othello: The Moor of Venice (2019).[37]

New Heritage Theatre Group and Take Wing And Soar Productions also collaborated to produce Esther Armah's Savior? in 2011,[38] and Oscar Wilde's The Important of Being Earnest in 2013, directed by Kevin Connell,[39] which was nominated for five AUDELCO awards, including for Best Revival, as well as Lead Actress for Debra Ann Byrd.[40]
