At NIE we believe that theatre is action. It is dynamic, living, interactive, generative, creative. In theatre, what gets under the skin, what gnaws at the bones is the intimate storytelling, the breath, the voice, the body almost within reach enacting life—mine or yours, or someone else's to provoke, challenge assumptions, dare us to see more—to understand anew. In the space of the theater we are free to uncover, uncork, unveil, reveal all the nooks and crannies of our humanness.


"I am a story teller at heart... I do know a good story. I saw one presented last night by Next Iteration Ensemble. Deb Margolin weaves three remarkable tales in Turquoise. Dianne K. Webb deftly directs these stories with a tender touch....Good stories need to be told." —Gwen Flager, playwright
