Net's Nest Shelter: Unmasking Domestic Violence 2022 Gala

  • October 29, 2022

Category: Festivals, special events, Fundraisers and Health, wellness

October 29th | 7-11 PM at 6700 Jubilee Center Way in Knoxville

Since 2014, Net’s Nest Shelter has been a leading force in community change. We are striving to change the way society sees the culture of domestic violence through advocacy, education, and resources. We are moving towards a zero-tolerance standard for domestic violence.

Our “Let’s Talk About It” Program was designed to destigmatize the silence around domestic violence. We aim to teach the black and brown communities about healthy and unhealthy relationships, violence in relationships, and bystander intervention skills to aid in protecting women and young girls. Through strategic partnerships with other organizations, we are able to provide the community with opportunities to connect with peers, build positive relationships, and form lifelong bonds. In 2022, the “Let’s Talk About It” program has served over 150 people so far through live informational resource videos that have brought about awareness in the communities we serve.

This October, we are bringing awareness and shining a light on our “Let’s Talk About It” Program. We will be hosting a masquerade gala, “UNMASKING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE” by exposing the ugly truth surrounding the silence of domestic violence.

Category: Kids, family, Literature, spoken word, writing and Theatre

The play will be performed Thursdays and Fridays at 7 PM, Saturdays at 1 PM and 5 PM, and Sundays at 3 PM.

Magic Tree House: Pirates Past Noon KIDS is an adaptation of the fourth of Mary Pope Osborne’s award-winning fantasy adventure books from the Magic Tree House book series. Jack and Annie’s tree house takes them to an exotic island with pirates, where the two discover the power of friendship and the simple pleasures in everyday life.

The two siblings return to visit the magic tree house on a dreary, rainy day. They find a book where the sun is shining and the waves are crashing, so they wish to travel to this tropical place. They realize that they are in the eighteenth-century Caribbean, the time of pirates! The siblings meet Captain Bones, a mean old pirate who captures the two and forces them to help him find buried treasure. It’s up to Jack and Annie to find their way back to the tree house and make their way home.

KCT is East Tennessee’s leading producer of plays for children and families.
