- Biography (note)
- New Heritage Theatre Group (NHTG) is the oldest black nonprofit theater company in New York City, established in 1964. New Heritage was founded by the late Roger Furman and is currently headed by Executive Producer Voza Rivers and Executive Artistic Director Jamal Joseph. NHTG presentations capture the historical, social and political experiences of Black and Latino descendants in America and abroad. NHTG was established in 1964 as the New Heritage Repertory Theatre (NHRT) by the late Roger Furman, a playwright, director, actor, and lecturer. Furman's career in Harlem began at the American Negro Theater in the 1940s. He began New Heritage Repertory Theater (NHRT) in 1964 as a street theater. In 1983 Voza Rivers, a co-founding member of NHRT, music and theatre producer, took the helm and reorganized the organization and expanded the Theatre's scope and reach internationally. Currently, the newly named New Heritage Theatre Group is comprised of three program divisions: the Furman Theatre Repertory, a workshop for budding playwrights, the New Heritage Films and Harlem Wood Film Festival, and IMPACT Repertory Theatre, established by Jamal Joseph in 1997 and focuses on youth performance and activism.
