Cages or Wings
"Cages or Wings" was a one night only outdoor concert event, attempting to answer the question, in our own words, "why do we make art". 11 performers from across Speedrun's 2023 season came together to share their passion for the arts through musical performances, monologues, poetry, and personal stories. All tickets sold for the event went towards funding for our 2024 season of shows
