A3C Partnership Director to Produce Play for Millennials in Atlanta This Summer

By: May. 31, 2017

Not Here Right Now...the hilariously touching tale of a tall man in tight spaces finding clarity and avoiding a quarter-life crisis in the Far East, all while wearing strappy-velcro sandals (except to the wedding of the century) premieres at Synchronicity Theatre in Atlanta, GA on July 1st.

Royce Bable's new play Not Here Right Now is an immersive live one-man show using creative storytelling and mixed media to showcase Royce's inspiring journey from corporate citizen to world traveler. Think-- standup comedy + TED Talk + Improv Theater. Meet the characters who helped him find more of himself along the way, and learn that sometimes being present means being Not Here Right Now. This one man show, written by Royce Bable (Partnership Director of the A3C Festival & Conference) and directed by Ina Williams, aims to inspire diverse audiences to take meaningful and fulfilling risks to achieve happiness. Bable says "we want to challenge people to dare to do something different, and discover not only who they are, but who they want to be."

Not Here Right Now was successfully funded through Kickstarter. The Not Here Right Now team set out to raise $10k and surpassed their goal by 20% with backing of 165 people. In a time where the theatre world is vying for the attention of a younger generation, Not Here Right Now, targets millennials head-on; written by a millennial for millennials. With creative direction from the talented, Kawan Moore, and original artwork by Sage Guillory, this one man show offers a new generation of the live theatre experience.

"Not Here Right Now" synopsis:

Tired of the monotony of NEW YORK CITY corporate life, Royce Bable, an ambitious 20-something, trades in his promising media research career for a one-way ticket to Southeast Asia. In his live ONE-MAN SHOW, Royce brings you on an eight country adventure toward self-discovery. During Not Here Right Now, attendees are treated to stories and experiences of Royce's inspiring journey from corporate citizen to world traveler. Not Here Right Now is about more than just Royce's journey, this show encourages audiences to take meaningful and fulfilling risks to achieve happiness.
