In Nashville, Tennessee? Following a Works & Process residency at Hutton Hotel’s Writers Studio, writer-comedian Alex Edelman and author Michael R. Jackson invite audiences into the earliest stages of a new theater work on Saturday, July 18 at 2 pm at Analog. Whether it becomes a play with music or a musical remains to be seen—characters are still taking shape, stories are still unfolding, and the piece is far from finished. But be there for the Birth of something.....To learn more and RSVP for this free event: https://shorturl.at/8xw5P

Ballroom Icon and Tony Award Winner Omari Wiles, and his trailblazing company Les Ballet Afrik bring ball culture to Lincoln Center with the Works & Process commission, New York Is Burning, featuring Wiles’s AfrikFusion, fusing traditional African dances and Afrobeat with house dance and vogue. Also featuring dancers from Wiles’s Ballroom House The House of NiNa Oricci, this work is a celebration of queerness, resilience, and a tribute to the legendary documentary Paris Is Burning. A mini ball will round out the event, accompanied by a live DJ, DJ Belindz. For more info:
