The NiA Company was founded in 1998 by graduates of Trustus Theatre's African American Acting Workshop as a small, traveling theatre company in the Midlands without a brick-and-mortar theatre of its own.

 

We are a collective of art makers of different races, genders, politics, beliefs, sexual orientations, and concerns who come together to make theatre that speaks with a human voice from a black soul touching the hearts and minds of young and old, rich and poor the uninitiated and those in the know!
 

South Carolina’s nomadic art heroes have been at it for more than twenty years performing and teaching on stages from Charleston’s Piccolo Spoleto to Charlotte’s Harvey B. Gantt Center of African American Art and Culture.
