Here's a little update on the hiatus we've been taking the last couple months. We had plans, and as always, plans change. We haven't gone away, we haven't faded into the dark, we've just been... gestating a little. We all take a step back now and then, but what's important is to follow with two steps forward. Things... things are happening, and they're good.

Had a great time tonight visiting with the members of the Robeson Art Guild and getting the word out about our upcoming programs! We're so happy to have the support of our local art leaders and organizations, and thankful for the opportunity to introduce ourselves! Thank you all so much!

AUDITIONS! LUMBERTON NORTH CAROLINA AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES!

We are looking to cast 3-4 energetic folk of any age, race, creed, gender or experience level for a 20 - 25 minute improvisational performance piece to be staged at the Inner Peace Center for the Arts on December 21 and 22, with rehearsals (2-3 times per week) to begin the second week of November.

AUDITIONS will be held Sunday, November 3 at the IPCA, located at 302 Chestnut Street, Lumberton NC.

This show will be very fluid in nature and will change according to audience participation and input, so quick thinking, ability to take on a wide variety of character, and a huge spirit of engagement are the qualities we're looking for. For additional details, you can message us here on FB or write us at [email protected]

Hope we see you there!

The first public performance of this series is planned for mid December of 2024, specific dates TBA.

Selected pieces may be performed by the submitting artist(s) (informal audition or video of submission required) or by a cast of similarly young, unheard and upcoming performer(s) under our direction.

Things that happen around a typical front porch. (That won't stop us from considering EVERY submission, however!)
