Afterglow Theatre Company was founded in December 2025 by 19-year-old Nashawn Abney, driven by a deep passion for storytelling and a desire to create meaningful, lasting art. What began as a vision to bring people together through performance has quickly grown into a space where creativity, collaboration, and community come to life.

From an early age, Nashawn was drawn to the power of theatre—the way a story can move an audience, challenge perspectives, and leave an emotional imprint long after the final moment. That belief became the foundation of Afterglow: a company built on the idea that great storytelling doesn’t end when the curtain falls—it stays with you.

With a focus on bold, emotionally grounded work, Afterglow Theatre Company strives to create productions that feel honest, cinematic, and deeply human. Each project is approached with intention, blending artistry with heart to tell stories that resonate with today’s audiences.

As a growing company, Afterglow is committed to fostering a collaborative environment where artists of all backgrounds can contribute, learn, and create together. Whether on stage or behind the scenes, every production is an opportunity to build something meaningful—not just for the audience, but for the community as a whole.

This is just the beginning.
