A one night stand with 9.jpg — 1) A One Night Stand with 9

Tonight at The Nelle HQ, a special performance of "A One Night Stand with 9" is happening. It’s a comprehensive, harrowing, powerful theatrical performance. It’s written and starring Jay Howard, and you need to see it to feel it.

"A One Night Stand with 9" was first performed in Atlanta, Georgia, and now it’s being brought to The Nelle. Working with co-director Mark Allen and Director of Photography, Sam P Jones, this performance will now be filmed as a feature piece, while keeping its original stage presence with a live audience.

This First Friday, join us at The Nelle, where Jay will be performing one of her/his characters live, giving us a taste of this harrowing narrative. Each character expresses a different aspect of the darker side of human experience: loss, abuse, murder, and neglect.

Trigger warning: violent acts are described in this performance and viewer discretion is advised.
