Join us May 15-19 for New Visions Festival: DIVINE CONTRADICTION! DIVINE CONTRADICTION is a theatrical devised piece exploring the intrinsic conflict between identity and faith. The company navigated, as a community, through their own inquiries which led them to create this theatrical experience. As a result of the creative investigation, the company discovered an event, which serves as a through line into this collective journey: Six souls trapped in purgatory attempt to pu...rge themselves of their judgements and move into Paradise but discover that the only way to reach paradise is to surrender themselves to their own divinity. devised by: Francisco J.

LIVE NOW! Jaybird's Twitch.tv channel and upcoming production of The Connection Introducing the launch of Jaybird’s new Twitch.tv channel that investigates and explores the way America deals with drug use and users both socially and politically. Help us to challenge the choices made in categorizing drugs in the legal system and the disproportionate and negative impact the now 50 year ‘war on drugs’ has had on drug users and communities of color. Where has it gotten us? What h...as been achieved in that time to reduce crime or overdoses or to aid users to integrate successfully into society? Please subscribe and follow and join in the conversation and debate. Jaybird will be meeting and collaborating with drug users and those who work with them to discuss these topics and it will culminate in the production of "The Connection" by Jack Gelber on May 7th at 7.30pm ET. Please follow our channel now and help us drive this conversation into social and political change.
