TIME TO ACT is a rock/pop opera staged as a live performance at National Sawdust, a venue that often treats contemporary music like chamber work. The lineup shifts across featured sets, including Britton & The Sting, Lola Kirke with Odetta, Storey Littleton + Calder the Destroyer, Black Belt Eagle Scout and Mato Wayuhi with Ailani, Bruce Brubaker Live!, and a Friday the 13th dance party with DJs Eli Escobar & Cosmo. Specific NYC premiere history has not been confirmed, but the format reflects a New York tradition of genre-crossing, artist-led performance. One clear strength is how it frames “opera” as a structure for community and contrast rather than a single voice.
