Endorsements

  • Nehemiah is one of the most inspiring artists I’ve ever worked with. His generosity of spirit, combined with his deep and expansive musical and stylistic knowledge, lifts every space he’s in. And he has the grace to manage and guide a space, while simultaneously ensuring everyone feels a sincere sense of ownership over their work and voice. I love his interest in individual idiosyncrasies, and his commitment to how a bunch of unique individual humans share space TOGETHER.

    Rachel Chavkin, Director/Artistic Director - the TEAM

  • "Let me start by just saying that any space Nehemiah enters inherently becomes magical. His gentle curiosity grants everyone in the room the space to feel comfortable sharing their gifts which lends itself to creating honest work. We have worked together in a lot of rooms for readings/new works of musicals and I ALWAYS want to have more time working with him. You will too."

    Jordan Tyson, Actor

  • "Collaboration with Nehemiah Luckett is a glorious, rigorous, thoughtful, joyous thing. His presence in any room makes it a more focused and inventive space, and one filled with light and wonder. I worked with Nehemiah on a project that played outside of the rules in every way possible, and found him not only game for every challenge that the project posed, but also a partner who elevated each part of the project he touched. I truly cannot wait until I have the privilege of working with him again."

AUTUMN: Live In Concert

AUTUMN is a soul-pop collaboration from Autumn Brown and Nehemiah Luckett. Their music sits at the nexus of musical virtuosity, ritual, and play. Their recorded music and live performances are infused with a sense of ritual, of the fantastical, and of time-traveling portals through which the artists, and those who listen, can move in all directions. Come join us!

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN: James Baldwin in Words and Music

Almost 40 years after his death, the words of James Baldwin are ever more resonant, speaking powerfully to us about culture, faith, race, justice, and identity. This celebration of Baldwin’s centennial honors his remarkable legacy with readings directed by actor and playwright Daniel Carlton, plus performances of the jazz, blues and gospel Baldwin listened to as he wrote, as well as new music by Julian Hornik and Nehemiah Luckett inspired by the novels Giovanni’s Room and Another Country.

— Nana Dakin, Theatre Director
