Human: A Pretty Monstrous Experience, An arts festival intended to celebrate our 41st season.
While the entirety of humanity encounters this pandemic together, our artists continue to connect while examining what is essential during this pretty monstrous experience. We invite you to join us online May 9th as we celebrate artistic courage, perseverance and the healing power of sharing stories of family, ritual, and truth. A variety of artistic responses inspired by Kelly Link’s Pretty Monsters and our responsibility in navigating fear and social divide will knock down the barriers of isolation. Keeping true to festival style, this re-imagined artist market will feature a Blood Drive with Life South from 12pm – 6pm in our parking lot, shared recipes online, and virtual world premieres by Theresa Davis, Destiny Thompson, Corian Ellisor, Stungunphotography, Nicolette Emanuelle, Devi Wells, and many more!
Tune in between 12 and 6 pm for all of these world premieres complete with introductions via live feed from the blood drive to keep you company along the way. Do you prefer to binge? We’ve got you covered there, too! We’ll be releasing the entire playlist of performances on our YouTube channel at 6 pm. Let’s get weird!
To provide emergency relief to 7 Stages artists and performers impacted by COVID-19.
Helloooooo, Georgia! We are 7 Stages, a professional, non-profit theatre company devoted to engaging artists and audiences by focusing on the social, political, and spiritual values of contemporary culture.
We had to suspend all upcoming live performances and events due to our current situation. In the meantime, we are still brainstorming and experimenting with how we can utilize the arts to foster togetherness in this often lonely time. We look forward to the next time that we can see you for a performance, be it over Google Hangout, Zoom, or, hopefully soon, in person! Keep an eye out on our social media channels for information about our upcoming virtual season finale on Saturday May 9!
In the meantime, our artists are being impacted NOW. Most artists in our community have lost all scheduled and contracted work for the next several months. The other typical sources of income have all shuttered as well. They need us to help in any way possible. 100% of every dollar contributed to this fund will go directly into the hands of artists.
From the bottom of our weird hearts, thank you for contributing to our Artist Relief Fund. We cannot wait for the next time that we can welcome you into our space for a great show.
