Songbird Supper Club is a local gathering rooted in one belief: when we feel safe enough to express our truth, the entire community thrives. Songbird is a place where support flows easily, where reciprocity feels natural, and where the voices that have been silenced—women, QTBIPOC+, and those of the Global Majority—are cherished, centered, and amplified. We gather to rebirth the “village” through listening, supporting, celebrating, and softening our edges. It is where mutual care, shared stories, and our many artistic creations and generative knowledge become the hearth that warms us all. As the world has shifted, so has Songbird. What began in 2022 as an intimate performance series has evolved to include Village Connection Labs, where guest leaders assist in bridging divisions, community healing, and broadening awareness. Our events weave together shared meals, artistic and educational offerings, and conversations that invite depth, curiosity, and courage. At Songbird, we let go of perfection, the need to be right, and open our minds to nuance. We allow ourselves to be vulnerable, bold, messy, curious. We come not to perform but to connect and belong, to finally hold the antidote to societal isolation and expectations that have harmed and limited us and our ecosystems. All are welcome to join this growing circle. We are now also offering a free online community for women-identifying artists and creators, planting seeds for Songbird Supper Clubs to happen all over the world.

Written in 1895, The Seagull is generally considered to be the first of legendary playwright Anton Chekhov’s four major plays. The opening night of the first production in 1896 was a famous failure, punctuated by his lead actress losing her voice due to her intimidation of the hostile crowd. Chekhov left the audience and spent the last two acts behind the scenes, and after the performance he was convinced that his dream of being a writer was over. Friends and supporters later tried to assure him of the play’s merits once the original production later became a success, but he assumed that were simply trying to be kind. When Konstantin Stanislavski (as in the Stanislavski - the seminal Russian theatre practitioner) directed it in 1898 for his Moscow Art Theatre, the play was a triumph. His production became one of the greatest events in the history of Russian theatre and one of the greatest new developments in the history of world drama, and it firmly established Chekhov as a tremendous force in worth theatre. In more than a century since its creation, The Seagull continues to be recognized as one of the all-time great plays ever written.
