The Stairwell Symphony

Spiritually sick? Astrally discombobulated? Let Ms. Teena Geist help you to ascend to a higher plane of self-actualization through The Stairwell Symphony.

A group ritual of cleansing and transformation, this event will find Ms. Geist opening her heart, mind, and third eye to share with you the infinite wisdom she's gained in her seventeen long and fruitful years as a journeywoman on this planet.

This presentation of The Stairwell Symphony will feature live music by Ben Seretan.

Teena Geist has performed at venues in Philadelphia (Institute of Contemporary Art, Johnny Brenda's, City Hall), Los Angeles (PURE O), Chicago (The Den), and Minneapolis (The Bryant-Lake Bowl).

$15 / 7:30PM / Tickets also available at the door.
