You’re always on.
Group chats. School stuff. Family stuff. Pressure from every direction. What if—for one night—you could just unplug? No expectations. No filters. Just space to breathe.
Teen Takeover: Reboot is where that happens. A night made for Teens, by them.
Experience live music with a DJ who creates real vibes for real people. Plus, some wildly epic stuff we’re not allowed to talk about yet.
It’s not a break from real life—it’s a night that is real life.

Our Works in Process series kicks off this season with a reading of The Faith Healer, a new play by The Apollo’s Director of New Works and founder of The Fire This Time Festival, Kelley Girod.
The Faith Healer follows a young Black doctor in Louisiana who faces the biggest crisis of his career at the same time that his father dies, while haunted by the ghost and legacy of his father who was a respected traitair, or spiritual healer. This doctor learns what it takes to not just be a medical provider, but a husband, a son, and a friend to those you treat.
Join this journey to the remotest parts of Louisiana, where French is still the first language, and sway through a past and a present that tie two generations of healers in a drama that highlights the plight of those who are called to care for others.
This reading is presented as a part of a series of programs commemorating 20 years since Hurricane Katrina, and highlights the traditions, language, and rich customs of the gulf coast people that still thrive despite the impact of natural disasters.
Presented in partnership with The Fire This Time Festival
