Description & History

In its brief history Take Wing And Soar Productions has enjoyed many successes including, the creation of The TWAS Theatre Project, The TWAS Classical Lab Reading Series and The Take Wing And Soar Spirit of Excellence Awards.

Past TWAS Spirit of Excellence Pioneer Award recipients have included veteran classical actors Jane White, Ruby Dee, Earle Hyman and James Earl Jones.

TWAS Inc. projects and programs have served over 400 Classically trained artists, directors, designers, technicians and young entrepreneurial artists, has been seen by over 9,000 patrons; and was recently nominated for 14 AUDELCO Recognition Awards for Excellence for its mainstage productions of Richard III, The Darker Face Of The Earth, HAMLET, MEDEA and KING LEAR.

In order to achieve our literary and educational goals, the organization usually produces one to four theatrical productions each theatre season.

Our last production, an Equity Showcase of Shakespeare?s KING LEAR, starring Tony Award Winning Actress Trezana Beverley, was produced in the Winter of 2009 at the National Black Theatre in New York City, and our next production, an Equity Showcase of Steve Carter?s PECONG, starring film, television and award winning stage actress Phyllis Yvonne Stickney, will be produced in the Spring of 2010 in New York City.
