About this Event
Join us for a night of celebrating young and emerging artists at the 7 Stages 2024 Apprentice Showcase, on April 20th at 6:00pm. Young theater professionals Akua Malloy, Aloe Sanders, Cade Nabors, Ezra Stene, Isis Kleef, and Nina Cajuste have been working with 7 Stages’ apprentice program where they have trained in the administrative, production and artistic aspects of theater. They are now bringing their talents to the stage with a culmination of all they have learned during their time with the program. Apprentices set to dazzle you with their unique artistic responses to Ilya Kaminsky's "Deaf Republic"
“Deaf Republic” is a poetry book published in 2019 about an occupied town who decide, as a community, to go deaf and only speak in sign language after a deaf boy is shot and killed by occupying soldiers during a puppet show. The collection of poems follow the story of the townspeople after the act of violence. Protest, solace and tragedy are a few of the topics that inspired the young apprentices to create this showcase.
Taking skills learned during their time at 7 Stages, artists will be writing, directing and performing their own pieces that they have curated. They are ecstatic to share their passions for dance, music, visual art and crafts at this hour long presentation. Each performance offers a fresh take on the book's themes of resilience, community and love. Don't miss out on this culmination of a season's worth of hard work and creativity from 7 Stages apprentices–an unforgettable evening celebrating the power of community and companionship.
