New Heritage Theatre Group, in partnership with The City College of New York, presents the Inaugural Voza Rivers Legacy Series: "Open-Mic" Competition for Playwrights and Screenwriters!!

Experience powerful new scenes from emerging writers. Across two inspiring evenings, five winners will be selected, each earning their own full-length reading presentation later this season.

Celebrate Voza Rivers, a Harlem legend whose six-decade career has left a profound and lasting mark on Harlem and the global arts landscape, nurturing new and emerging multidisciplinary voices from communities whose stories have too often gone unheard.

Be in the audience, feel the energy, and support the next generation of storytellers carrying forward Voza Rivers’ living legacy.

Producers: Irene Gandy, Aaliytha Stevens, Amy Sprecher & Voza Rivers

Sponsored, in part, by the West Harlem Development Corporation.

We look forward to seeing you there!
