The Call Theatre Presents: GREEN MIST (A Developmental Reading Of A Play With An Installation) What’s it about: Three families have taken refuge at a bed-and-breakfast after an unprecedented storm that produced a mysterious green mist. While the mist lingers outside, they will have to learn to survive in the house not knowing what the mist is. The most dangerous threat might be closer to them than the mist itself.
What continues to inspire your art?
The Call Theatre was born out of the pandemic that exposed disparity in our neighborhoods. It strives to revolutionize ways of engaging the community through the arts while making theatre and community needs more accessible to our neighbors.
