The Movement Theatre Company is a delight to work with! They are talented young individuals who strive to support and cultivate artists of color in unique ways. Not only are they a professional theater company, they are also a community of friends. I have fond memories of collaborating with them on various projects and they have opened my eyes to the joys of theatre-making. They are constantly creating innovative ways to do theatre and a breath of fresh air in the NYC artistic community!
