Co-Artistic Director
Cardozie has spent his life deeply rooted in the performing arts. A Philadelphia native, he moved to New York City to study musical theater at New York University. For almost ten years after graduating he taught theater at a high school in Brooklyn where he nurtured a passion for not only arts education, but the ways in which the arts can be used to address issues of social justice. Cardozie also served as the Manager of Youth Programming at Live Out Loud, an organization committed to enriching the lives of LGBTQ teens in NYC and throughout the country. Today, he splits his time between his work as an artist/director and his work as an Educational Equity Consultant supporting schools and other organizations in how best to engage and empower historically disenfranchised communities.
