Dubbed one of Chattanooga's best kept secrets, the Monday Nite Big Band has been playing big band jazz music in Chattanooga for over 40 years. The band was founded by pianist and band leader Paul Lohorn and saxophonist Ed Leamon.

The band's monthly "First Mondays at Barking Legs" have become an institution, featuring the power of 17 instrumentalists, plus the exquisite vocals of Paige Denton. Experience the power, straight up!

Cue the Dice is Seed Theatre and Tabletop Revue’s immersive fundraising adventure where theatre meets the magic of tabletop storytelling. Audiences are invited to step inside a live game of Dungeons & Dragons as performers bring heroes, villains, and chaotic surprises to life onstage — with the roll of the dice shaping every twist of the journey. No two shows are ever the same, and the audience becomes part of the quest, helping guide choices, cheer on daring moments, and witness epic storytelling unfold in real time. Equal parts comedy, improv, fantasy, and heart, Cue the Dice celebrates creativity, collaboration, and the joy of shared imagination — all while supporting the mission and community programs of Seed Theatre.

Nude Dudes Read Poetry is a bold, tongue-in-cheek fundraising showcase that celebrates vulnerability, body-positivity, and the power of spoken word. In this uniquely disarming evening, readers strip away pretense (and a bit more) as they share poems that are funny, heartfelt, reflective, and occasionally mischievous.

Equal parts comedy, intimacy, and art-house cabaret, the event invites audiences to lean into curiosity, joy, and human connection while supporting the mission and community work of Seed Theatre. This is a space of consent, respect, and celebration — where the body becomes part of the storytelling and poetry takes center stage.

Attendees must be 18+ as this show includes adult nudity.

Beyond the Frame | February 21st | 2 pm-4 pm | 7pm-9pm

This showing features the full-length from Providence Newson Dance Company.

​Beyond the Frame explores the artistic world of Crystal Newson: her movement language, influences, and interpretation—while bringing Black visual art to life on stage.

Black visual artworks are studied, interpreted, and translated into movement, allowing the choreography to respond to texture, emotion, color, and meaning found within each piece. 

Beyond the Frame bridges three artistic worlds, honoring Black artists across disciplines while expanding how their work can be experienced  into motion.
