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."

Theater, Dance, and Media at Harvard presents
Moose Tracks

Moose Tracks is the artistic extension of works created by students in Stew Stewart’s Fall 2024 course “Singer + Song = Story.” In this piece, a group of Harvard students in 2025 have sent a Voyager style Golden Record of their own into the universe, which aliens have received as an entree into understanding the complexity of the human experience. This collage-style work is the product of a highly collaborative approach that interweaves the student voices throughout the creation process.
