When the tide retreats, you know a giant wave is on its way.
Welcome to The Arts Uprise Festival, a creative tsunami of original plays, music, art, and spoken word that take on climate change, hilarious religious hypocrisy, the future of history and much more.
Out of more than 30 original script submissions, judges selected five that capture the angst and insights of this twisted Twilight Zone moment in America. Some of the finest actors and directors in the region will bring these stories to life, and their work will be accompanied by original poetry by Springs Poet Laureate Ashley Cornelius, original music by singer-songwriter John Spengler and visual art curated by the Auric Gallery.
