Guitarist Adam Stone is one of Chattanooga’s most eclectic musicians, and his passionate embrace of everything he touches and his boundless energy have made him one of our favorites. Not to mention his fantastic guitar playing. Every show he’s played at Barking Legs has been unique, and this quartet will continue the trend. Join us for the adventure.

Join Seed Theatre for the world premiere of First Stone, Brianna Jean’s 15th stage show premiere—a new play about protest, belief, identity, and the fragile, necessary work of finding common ground. Set against the backdrop of a family-friendly drag show under siege by churches, activists, and outside agitators, First Stone explores what happens when queer people and religious people are forced to stop shouting across the street and start seeing one another as fully human. With humor, heartbreak, and surprising tenderness, the play asks whether love can still speak louder than fear, and whether faith and queerness can meet not in easy agreement, but in honesty, compassion, and shared humanity.

First Stone is built around a tense public conflict over a family-friendly drag event, but what makes it compelling is that it refuses to flatten either side into a cartoon. At its heart are Zeeky, a trans woman organizing the event, and Virgil, a pastor who opposes it but is still deeply committed to love, dignity, and protecting people from cruelty. The story repeatedly returns to the idea that even in the middle of protest, fear, and cultural division, there are still human beings trying to understand each other.

This work is inspired by protests that occurred at The Seed Theatre in November 2022, though the turnout was vastly different. 

We are building a community, and this is your invitation.

On Friday, May 22 at 7:30pm, we’re gathering at Barking Legs Theater in Chattanooga,

TN.

Whether you’re a part of New Threads, have been circling from a distance, or are just

hearing about us, you are invited into the conversation.

What to expect:

Think less formal and more “creative gathering with momentum.”

• A laid-back mixer with good food and good people.

• A short, compelling glimpse into where New Threads is headed.

• Staged readings of short scenes from projects in development.

• A room full of artists, culture-makers, and theatre lovers.

New Threads is about creating work that goes there, exploring questions that matter,

and bringing people together.

If you’re drawn to storytelling that says something real, spaces where people actually

connect, and building a creative community that’s open, thoughtful, and alive… you’re

going to want to be in this room.

Come as you are. Bring a friend. Stay after and connect.

"Somewhere between Charles Mingus and Johnny Greenwood there is a sound that bassist/composer Nicholas Krolak seeks."

"A young veteran of the Philadelphia music scene. He has spent the last decade working as a side-man, experiencing new styles, and studying with the masters. Now, he has taken all he has learned and is applying it to his own artistic adventures."

"Tracing the lineage of bebop into the contemporary, while constantly balancing the pulse of the city and the mysticism of nature: he has been described as…"

“a different kind of songwriter—perhaps a different kind of jazz musician altogether. He’s like the bass playing, modern embodiment of Walt Whitman. And, just as Whitman used his prose poems, Krolak uses his music to celebrate and also reconcile the competing and contradictory nature of the two worlds he straddles: the natural and the urban."

====================================================================

This tour exists inside the world of PAST LIVES !!!

It takes shape in rooms where listening changes ... where sound lingers, attention sharpens, and the space between notes matters. These are not ordinary nights. They unfold gradually, shaped by the room, the people in it, and whatever arrives in the moment

Nothing is rushed ...

Nothing is repeated ...

The music is allowed to breathe, to stretch, to move time in unfamiliar ways. What happens is shared, fleeting, and difficult to describe afterward ... something you feel more than remember

If this resonates, you’re invited ...

There's just one catch ... tickets are limited ... don't wait ... see you there !
