We ate spider dogs, we did magnetic poetry, we shouted out the answers at Movie Trivia Bingo, we had a DRIVE IN!

🎨 Calling for Youth Submissions! ✨ “A Crowd of Single Minds” invites young artists aged 16-30 of all mediums to explore loneliness and community, and to be appreciated for their creativity and talent. The 3 pieces shared here are by intern alums, Aristotle Arrambide, Shyla Martinez (.by_shy), and Rivers Picasso Martinez.

“A Crowd of Single Minds” is an exhibit envisioned and curated by TCA’s Inter-Arts Interns. The theme is “Healing Loneliness in Community”. This exhibit aims to represent the feeling of loneliness while offering art and community as a solution and a strong emphasis on youth voices. This comes from recognizing a lack of youth-led spaces and a desire to empower creativity.

Submission drop off is August 7-10 from 3-7 PM at TCA. The exhibit is here from August 12-23. Submit your artwork and we hope to see you there!

"Here is a four-way s*x comedy of embarrassment, as if JB Priestley had written a play about swinging. But as well as embarrassing, it is intriguing, amusing and, finally, somehow bizarrely moving." - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Playing through August 10.

🔥 Is God Is 🔥
📅 Screening August 6 - 11

TCA's Film Programmer Anita says:

"I am so curious and intrigued by this femme forward revenge thrilling tale of two sisters asked to do the unthinkable in response to an unthinkable thing that happened to them. Adapted from her own 2018 play, Director Aleshea Harris offers a myriad of powerful characters, including Grammy nominated Janelle Monáe as the "New Wife" , to unravel themes of generational trauma, toxic masculinity and allegiance all in a southern gothic style that deserves to be seen on a big screen and with your fellow movie loving audiences. "

Tickets now on sale.
