“The Next Stage collective believes in the power of chipping away, of small steps leading to a large thing, of smearing loudly and direct thought.
The Next Stage collective is a practice, a group of people with ideas for ‘making,’ and a belief that the road to success as an artist is actually just a regular road with a lot of traffic.”
– Sienna Burnett (Next Stage Artist ’16-’17)
Early show: 5:30 doors, 6p show, all ages, mostly seated
