Mission

Our mission is to showcase works that link women of color since their artistic efforts are underrepresented in the theatrical mainstream. We aim to develop, examine, hone, and produce quality work through a dialogue with artists embracing stories of struggle, survival and triumph. This mission encompasses work in all stages of development and theatre practitioners in all aspects of their artistic journeys.

theHegira is a theatre company based in Washington, DC.
