GOLDEN30 Anniversary Campaign

General and show-specific auditions for our 2027 Season are coming up! Find our more about the shows, the roles, and the submission process now.

Hosts Marina Johnson and Nabra Nelson take a sweeping look at 30 years of MENA/SWANA theater in the U.S. – from Golden Thread’s founding in 1996 to a growing ecosystem of bold, community-rooted companies shaping the American stage through urgency, artistry, and refusal.

“I consider my role to be a community service role; my mandate is to respond to what our community needs.” As the theater company faces disruptions from international travel and conflict, its mission remains vital.
