New Native Theatre

Discover New Native Theatre

Based in the vibrant Twin Cities, New Native Theatre is a groundbreaking organization dedicated to showcasing and celebrating Native American stories. Founded in 2009 by playwright Rhiana Yazzie, NNT is committed to producing, commissioning, and devising authentic narratives that resonate deeply with Native communities. By prioritizing the voices of Native artists, NNT creates powerful theatrical experiences that not only engage Native audiences but also enrich the broader community.

Empowering Native Artists

New Native Theatre operates with an open-door policy, welcoming Native community members of all ages to learn and collaborate. From three-year-olds to those in their seventies, NNT fosters an inclusive environment where individuals can explore their creativity and pursue careers in theatre. The organization focuses primarily on Native adults, addressing the historical barriers that have deterred many from entering the arts. As a result, NNT has become a vital training ground for Native artists, who are now making their mark on stages across the Twin Cities and beyond.

Impacting the Community

New Native Theatre has successfully bridged the gap between the 100 theatres in the Twin Cities and the large urban Native community. By creating authentic and transformative plays, NNT not only entertains but also educates audiences about the rich tapestry of Native American experiences.
