Noor Theatre (February)
Noor Theatre is an Obie-winning company dedicated to supporting, developing and producing the work of theatre artists of Middle Eastern and North African/South West Asian and North African (MENA/SWANA) descent.
Our programming supports work at different stages of development, whether early drafts of new plays or world premiere productions. Through our commissioning program, workshops and readings, world premiere productions, and other programming, we support artists in developing their voices and we share their often unheard stories with a diverse audience.

We aim to build a network of LatinX Playwrights nationwide in order to promote, develop and elevate their work while making their plays accessible to theater makers looking to find the next generation of American Storytellers.
