The Blue Series - Bridges & Boundaries Closes Out With 5 Sold Out Shows

-

THE BLUE SERIES – BRIDGES & BOUNDARIES premiered at the APEX Museum On Thursday, September 15th, and ran for 6 performances through Sunday, September 18th. Five of the six shows were sold out and one was above 90% capacity.

This anthology experience was a testament to the depth and breadth of rising talent throughout the Atlanta creative community.


There were a number of milestones connected to the collaborative team.

  • Justin Brown made his debut as a playwright.

  • Angel L. Henderson, Joe James, and Nicholas Miles Newton made their debut in directing for the stage.

  • This marked Sefora Adjaho's stage debut, although she has done a number of works on film and television.

  • Celeste Myers marked a major milestone as this was her very first production, ever, as she is new to the world of acting.

We also like to acknowledge each of the teams:
