Nia Benjamin

Hailing from West Palm Beach, FL, Nia is a recent graduate of the University of the Art's Ira Brind School of Theatre Arts. Nia has always had an interest in the ways in which the vehicle of theatre can unlock unanswered questions about the human experience. A member of dance-theatre producing entity Sam Tower + Ensemble, she was last seen as Georgia St. Regis in Nowhere Fast: A Rock Noir Cabaret. Nia produced her own show She Is A Problem for the Philly Fringe. She spends her days using her love of theatre to empower Philadelphia Youth as a Teaching Artist for Philadelphia Young Playwrights. She is currently an intern at The Leeway Foundation, which funds queer and femme centric art. Nia hopes to continue her study of her craft for years to come in this endlessly exciting city.
