(nur sha)-- inclination for activity &/or change
From its inception in 2003 Nursha Projectâ„¢ has been committed to establishing, producing and presenting Artist and Projects that are rooted in sociopolitical offerings. This has been achieved through the incubation of ideas, strategic planning, collaborative project design and product development.
Our service offerings have expanded in direct proportion to the range of Artists discipline, Project content and presenting market deficiency. In the last three years we’ve grown to provide Technical Theater Production, Management, Booking Support and Touring services for our Artists as well as other presenting organizations. This expansion has enhanced the capacity of all engaged parties while catapulting our presence.

“Where My Girls At?: A Comedic Look at Black Lesbians”
Written & Performed by Micia Mosely
Directed by Tamilla Woodard: Produced by Nursha Projectâ„¢
Micia Mosely’s first solo show, “Where My Girls At?: A Comedic Look at Black Lesbians,” reveals the issues that connect and separate myriad Black women’s communities. Through different personas, Mosely portrays the diversity of Black lesbian experiences, challenging the notion that there is only one way to be Black or Queer in the 21st century. Each performance is unique, as Mosely’s characters engage with the audience in an improvised Question & Answer segment. Fresh, hilarious, and insightful, this show is not to be missed.
