Hailed by Variety as “thoroughly convincing”, OBIE Award-winning actress and writer Nikkole Salter exploded onto the professional scene with her co-authorship and co-performance of the wildly successful play, In the Continuum (ITC). For its Off-Broadway run and international tour, ITC received an OBIE Award (2006), and the NY Outer Critics Circle's John Gassner Award for Best New American Play (2006) to name a few of its many accolades. Miss Salter also received Helen Hayes and Black Theatre Alliance nominations for Best Actress for her performance. ITC, published by Samuel French, was pronounced - by New York Times, Newsday and New York Magazine - as one of the best plays of 2005 and was featured in numerous esteemed media outlets including Essence Magazine, American Theatre Magazine, the Los Angeles Times and NPR’s Leonard Lopate Show. As an actress, Miss Salter was most recently seen in New Line Cinema's “Pride and Glory” starring Ed Norton, Jon Voight and Collin Farrell (opening October 24, 2008) and heard as the voice of LaTicia in Rockstar Games' new video game release, Midnight Club: Los Angeles (October 20, 2008). Ms. Salter’s most recent writing project, Repairing a Nation - a funny family dramedy about the essence of reparations and the complexity of inheritance, received its first reading through a partnership with the Studio Museum in Harlem’s new Target™Sunday initiative.
