Partnership with Civis Foundation & 3 World Premieres!
At a moment when much of our field is constricting, we are honored to partner with the Civis Foundation, a foundation which accentuates the importance of human interdependence and who shares our fundamental belief that pioneering works of art need pioneering support.
Today, we are thrilled to announce, “The Hunger Cycle,” a group of three extraordinarily ambitious world premiere productions over the next three seasons with Signal Producing Support from the Civis Foundation.

Read Nia Akilah Robinson's Letter About Soho Rep
Dear New York City Theater Dreamers,
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of living in Harlem all my life, going through programs and schools that loved the arts and treated them sacredly. I’ve always loved plays, always wrote plays, and will always write plays.
This year, I received my off Broadway debut when Soho Rep produced The Great Privation on 42nd Street. Getting off the 3 train coming from Harlem and seeing all the theater signs glowing in the dark and knowing that one of them was mine rocked my world.
When I first got whiff that Soho Rep had read The Great Privation, I melted. Soho Rep was a dream opportunity, and I thought I had to come into my first meeting with them with my best suit and a great speech about how ready I was. But their first question was: “Tell us about who you are and what your values are.” Whenever I tried to talk about how thankful I would be for the chance to be produced at Soho Rep, they said, “You have nothing to prove. Your work speaks for itself.”
