The writing has always been on the wall for native Phoenician, Nicole Newman-Colter. Like many young girls, she kept journals and recordings of her life and as a young woman even began the manuscript for a book entitled “The Life of a Pastor’s Child”. Daughter of Bishop GreGory and Mrs. Cynthia Newman, like her parents, Nicole fondly called by her friends “Nikki” is innovative and creative by nature. Already intensely intertwined in her parents ministry, she decided to start the drama ministry once again after several years hiatus. Starting out, Nicole began directing plays that had been written by other artists. After realizing that under the inspiration of God, her “spin” on those plays actually changed the artist’s story, she began writing and producing her own plays and hence, another one of God’s stars is born. Starting her own Theater Company, Nicole is one of the few “women” in the field of Gospel Playwrights. Be on the look out and expect great things from this talented writer.

I believe in what you are doing Nicole, you have no need to make apologies, cause you get a lot done and you always strive for excellence. The interview was great I am happy to see you go forward in the talent and skills that God has given you. You remind of the man with the 5 talents and God added 5 more because he was a faithful & profitable servant. Go forth and be blessed my sista, in Jesus name!

Sis. Nicole! I enjoyed the interview, and am so looking forward to attending the play. I am selling tickets — 5 so far, and hope to get at least 3 more guests to attend. God bless you as you go forth in Jesus’ Name, and praying that He renews your strength and cause all in attendance to be blessed and gain spiritual strength thereby. Love you and praying for you and family.

I have seen all of your plays and have not been disappointed. I love the arts so I have a big appreciation for what you are doing. The Devil comes to Church is still my favorite play so far. That play gave me chills. I’m really looking forward to Another Cinderella Story. Keep doing the work that God is giving you. You may not realize it but you are blessing so many people through this art. Don’t get sick cause you are doing just fine. Thank you!
Great interview; informative, inspiring, motivating, great insight, clear vision, and very professionally done.
P.S. You look very beautiful too! Chip off the old block (LOL).

I have just been a member at the Temple for a year now. I have heard about the plays you have directed and told they are awesome. I do have a ticket to your upcoming play and can’t wait to see it.
Praise the Lord Sister Nicole,
What a blessing to see what the Lord is doing at TGB and with you. Keep letting God bless you anyway He wants to. I look forward to seeing you and your work on the Big screen. It is so needed today.

I am egar to work with you in the future, now I can truely admit I am ready because I know what to expect. I loved this interview and look forward to seeing this wonderful play. Be encouraged and uplifted in the name of Jesus! I
I get excited each time I see how much you have grown as a woman, a mother and a christian. God is using you in a great way. Keep your ears tuned in to Him and not to them. Love the plays. Keep up this great work.
Hey Cast Love you all! Let’s stay prayerful, this play is a GOD THING, it’s not about us at all! Forgiveness is essential to salvation, this is a right now word to get people ready for his return. Don’t miss the opportunity to be used by God! Follow the direction of our Leaders, they have never steered us wrong! Don’t look at this play with your natural eye, but with the spiritual ones! God is going to destroy some yokes and break chains that have seemed impossible in the past! Nicole stay encourage this is the will of God for your life, as Sis Velma stated keep your ears and eyes on HIM and not them!

Hey Nicole,
Just want to say to you don’t worry one minute not even a second on haters. You’ve got a Dad, Mom and two brothers that love, support and believe in you. And you’ve got a church family that love, support and believe in you the same. We know that love conquers all and you got a lot of love coming your way! And too top it all off God that makes all things possible to you. Now all you need to do is stay in his will and he will make it all happen for you. The only one can stop you is you, and we won’t let you! I smell success coming your way.
Nikki I know I have said this before but I want to thank you for your obedience to the word of God you have moved me in a very special way. You have a gift that is heaven sent and you have not allowed the flesh to be glorified and because of your example I feel that this cast as grown into better christians and children of the most high. You know first hand that there is nothing like being annointed and sister you are that so please continue to seek God and hear is word and I have know doubts that you are going to be the first Nicole Newman-Colter and not Tyler Perry or any of the other play writers of today. I am so so proud of you and at this moment I am having a lifetime experience (misty eyes). Be blessed
Oh- My- Goodness! I can’t believe were done. This has been a great experience for me and I know for everyone else too. The love, unity and peace we had with this cast was incredibale. Nicole, you have inspired me to follow what God has for me too do, just like God did for you. You followed, were obedient, humble and I commend you for that Nicole. I really thank God for you beacuse you have been a blessing in my life. Your work is professional, motivating and most of all anointed! Love you Nicole and I hope to work with you again!!
