"Righteousness exalts a nation. Hate just makes people miserable.”
--- Fannie Lou Hamer, 1917-1977, Civil Rights Icon
Theater plays a vital role in society, it affirms universal truths, it provides a mirror to see the truth about ourselves,
and it inspires us to do better.
Since its founding in 1974, The Morningside Players has been recognized for artistic excellence and acknowledged
for promoting community and engaging the richly diverse Morningside Heights neighborhood.
