How to Catch Creation
Written by Christina Anderson
January 16 to February 8, 2026
Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30pm | Sundays at 2:00pm
Griffin, a Black writer who spent over a decade in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, yearns to build a future; Tami, a driven art professor, finds her passion floundering; Stokes, a young painter, searches for creative purpose; and Riley, his partner, is looking for where she belongs. As their stories unfold, these four artists find their lives unexpectedly intertwined — with each other’s and with the life of a black feminist writer from the 1960s. How to Catch Creation weaves past and present in a poetic and profound exploration of what it means to create: art, a life, a family, a world that reflects who we truly are.
