Moogahlin Performing Arts Incorporated is New South Wales’ leading First Peoples performing arts company. We develop, produce, and present new work, are strongly connected to community, and are committed to nurturing a new generation of First Peoples theatre practitioners locally, regionally, and nationally by building platforms for emerging and established theatre makers. Moogahlin was formed in Redfern N.S.W. in November 2007, in honour of the late Kevin Smith’s request, and in memory of the founding members of the Black Theatre.
