HEART Radio Lab Choir : Love Frequency 2017

HEART invites the public to the debut of their latest project HEART Radio Lab;  a theatrical choir that will perform every year in December. Love Frequency 2017 is HEART Radio Labs first event which includes a multi-media visual and performing arts show on Saturday, December 16th from 6pm-8pm at Redux Contemporary Art Center located at 1056 King St., Downtown Charleston. Beer and wine available for purchase and event tickets are $5 online and $10 at the door.

HEART will also reveal some of the compelling works of art created in their Artist Mentor program. This past summer HEART hired an Artist Mentor, Quenby Keisler and partnered with Redux. The HEARTists are creating stunning collaborative art with Keisler using Redux’s inspirational classroom space.

A Heartfelt Look at Romeo & Juliet

Cast Portraits by Arielle Simmons Photography

HEART was invited by the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs to perform at Piccolo Spoleto 2017. Marybeth Clark of Charleston Stage Company wrote, directed, and provided costumes for the 30-minute music and humor filled adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet called A Heartfelt Look at Romeo & Juliet. PURE Theatre and their Artistic Director, Sharon Graci hosted the performances and assisted Clark as mentor & director.

Both shows were sold out and had long waiting lists! We are so proud of our talented actors and our supportive community! After almost 3 years of creating visual and performance art at HEART, we see this event as a milestone for inclusion, recognition and respect for our talented artists and actors with special needs. We thank everyone involved in making this happen.
