The Liminal Theatre Collective is a New York City-based ensemble of multidisciplinary artists dedicated to developing and producing new and reimagined works by artists of color. Our work interrogates the spaces between tradition and change – breaking from established constructs to catalyze dialogue and transformation.
Through comprehensive, community-based programming and initiatives, we are cultivating the next generation of diverse theatre makers while redefining the stage as a space for collective connection, empowerment, and access for all.

I HOLD BOTH - FIRST DRAFT SERIES
I HOLD BOTH
A New Play by Azudi Onyejekwe
What begins as an intimate girls' night in Harlem unravels when a sudden allegation that hits too close to home leaves three women - a Nigerian lawyer, a white arts worker, and a Black communications director - with no way to know the truth and no way to avoid choosing sides.
Set over the course of one increasingly fractured night, the play examines friendship, race, gender, loyalty, belief, and what happens when the demand to take a side arrives before the truth does.
Featuring Genevieve Ngosa Daniels, Danielle Barrett, Jaylen Taylor, and Vance Beamer Washington.
Directed by Azudi Onyejekwe

IMPOSTER
Our latest Liminal Lab Production
IMPOSTER was an ensemble-driven, devised theatre experience exploring the selves we construct to survive in spaces that were never built for us: the masks we wear, the names we soften, the history we silence, the languages we lose, and the shame that teaches us to be smaller than we are.
Directed by Azudi Onyejekwe | Choreographed by Juliana Conte
Co-created and performed by Sydney Carreon, Juliana Conte, Stella Diji, Jeremy Fuentes, Tariq Kateeb, Kayla Sofía, and Vikas Venu
