Our Roots & Impact
​HASTG was born from an after-school
program at Harlem Prep Charter School, led by community leaders Ikay Henry and Linda Hazlett. Nikki Kimbrough was brought in to assist Tony-Award Winner Ben Harney to direct that year's production in between her own Broadway performances. The next year, Nikki took over as the show director and recognized a deeper, ongoing need for consistent, accessible arts programming for Harlem youth.
That’s when she launched the Harlem All-Stars Theater Group, and together the team began building a program grounded in love, excellence, and opportunity.
The spark behind Nikki’s commitment also stems from her own childhood in Richmond, VA, where a local arts educator encouraged her single mother to enroll her in enrichment programs, an act that changed her life.
HASTG is the continuation of that legacy: building spaces where kids can be seen, heard, supported, and celebrated.
