NYNW mourns the loss of one of our great panelists, Craig Mums Grant.... A steadfast teammate since 2016, Mums advocated for diversity in theatre and worked tirelessly with NYNW to champion under represented voices on our stage. Our journey began in 2015 at a rooftop party and we have been on our path together loving theatre ever since. You will be missed, my friend.
