New Heritage Theatre Group
New Heritage Theatre Group (NHTG) is the oldest black nonprofit theater company in New York City, founded in 1964 by the late Roger Furman, a playwright, director and actor who began his career in the 1940s with the American Negro Theatre in Harlem.
In 1997 Jamal Joseph became executive artistic director. The NHTG presents entertaining, informative theatrical productions, staged readings and documentary shorts and films. Through its organizations Impact Repertory Theatre, Furman Theatre Rep and New York Heritage Films, new Heritage gives training, exposure and experience to new and emerging artists. The works reflect the historical, social and political experiences of African and Latino descendants in America and abroad. NHTG seeks to bring attention to works by international writers, directors and artists who lack exposure in the United States.
- Gift Shops: Posters, clothing, cds and dvds are some items for sale through the online shop.
