A Taste of Saved Messages

Savor an elevated chef-catered dinner, good company, and a first taste of Saved Messages, a funny and heartfelt new play being presented for the first time in North Carolina.

Created by Carlita Victoria, founder of Darkness RISING Project, Saved Messages is a one-woman play that explores mental health crises through humor, vulnerability, recorded voices, and phones from different eras. This performance workshop offers audiences an early look at the show while it's still being developed, with a chance to help shape its journey to the stage.

Your evening includes:

- Chef-catered dinner by Taste of BLK

- Pre-show reception with drinks

- Performance workshop of Saved Messages

- Post-show talkback with the artists

Every ticket supports Darkness RISING's work providing free therapy, reentry support, and wellness programs.
