Building Bridges: Support Theatre and Service through two Premieres

by Synchronicity Theatre

About the Project

Synchronicity Theatre has focused on bringing theatre and community together since its inception in 1997. Our mission is to produce smart, gutsy, bold theatre that uplifts the voices of women and girls and sparks community conversations.  We commit to theatrical experiences that are powerful, transformative and go beyond the theatre walls.  For all of our shows, we  work with community partners from the Atlanta area to enhance discussion around the important issues being raised by our work as well as to provide outreach  and service opportunities to engage audiences in powerful dialogue and transformative change. This year is no different!  

This spring and summer, we will proudly present the World Premiere of Andrea Lepcio’s Strait of Gibraltar and the Regional Southeastern Premiere of Danai Gurira’s Eclipsed. Both of these exciting shows focus on bringing the voices of marginalized communities into the mainstream to discuses issues of race, religion and war. Strait of Gibraltar is about the relationship between a young Jewish woman and a young Muslim man and what happens to their relationship when they fall in love. Eclipsed tells the story of 5 Liberian women trapped in the country during the civil war.  Both shows are uniquely positioned to expose audiences to new cultures and perspectives.   As part of our work surrounding these two shows we are partnering with numerous community organizations to present post-show discussions, event panels and service projects. You can be a part of empowering and uplifting these voices by supporting this campaign.  Your support will help us create service opportunities around Atlanta as well as launch these two amazing premieres.
