Atlas Arts Lab presents RAWRA’S EAT ME, JOANIE

June 21 4:00 pm

It's Frida’s Saturn return, and the stars have served her: Joanie. For one night only, RAWRA with Feeling debuts multi-genre music and screenplay excerpts from Eat Me, Joanie about one late-bloomer reparenting their inner drag monster amidst crisis. In this Atlas Arts Lab staged reading and music showcase, RAWRA invites the audience to observe, question, and alchemize their inner darkness toward outward good.

Thank you to our generous supporters of Atlas Arts Lab! In May of 2025, we were informed that the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) grant supporting our Atlas Arts Lab has been terminated. This program has been a cornerstone of our mission by providing space, resources, and support for local artists to create, experiment, and thrive. We remain fully committed to continuing this vital work. Thank you to everyone for supporting Atlas Arts Lab!
