Mission Statement
Inis Nua, which translates to “new island” in the Irish language, is the only theatre company in the US with our unique mission: to produce contemporary, provocative plays from Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales which reflect those cultures' new identities in today's world.
About This Cause
Founded in 2004 by Tom Reing, Artistic Director Emeritus, Inis Nua is an award-winning theatre company in the vibrant Philadelphia theatre scene. The plays we present are built on intimate, clear storytelling, hence our tagline, “tell the story.” In producing contemporary, provocative plays from Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales, we see these plays not only as some of the best contemporary theatrical writing in the world, but also as a mirror that can reflect the issues facing our own city of Philadelphia today: economic and education inequities, changing communities, class and racial tension, gentrification, among other issues. Seeing our challenges reflected in the context of another culture can give us new insight into our own conflicts. Now as we enter our third decade, we aim to chart a bolder course, believing now more than ever, theater companies like Inis Nua must make the strongest case we can that theater makes unique, vital contributions to our lives and our understanding of one another.
