Renaissance: Stories of Resurgence and Renewal

And, we’re back. After the longest year in lockdown, we’re beyond thrilled to be back with an electric live show featuring seven original stories on the theme of resurgence and renewal. Second acts and second chances. Revivals and resurrections. The only constant is change, so this May we invited our performers to share the ways they’ve shed old skin and started anew. Expect our usual blend of heartfelt and hilarious, and expect to feel inspired and empowered to take on life post-pandemic, no matter what chapter of life you’re up to!
