Special Engagement. Two Nights Only!

RAWTalks ...and It’s All the Rage!

They’re back! Robert Arleigh White and Charlotte Mabrey reunite to BABS’LAB in Jacksonville, Florida for the first time in over a year with new material and bold perspectives on the whole “blabbedy-blab of post-pandemic living!”

BABS’ LAB is thrilled to present RAWTalks written and performed by master storyteller Robert Arleigh White and Goddess-Among-Us Charlotte Mabrey who brings the whole Swinging Big-Bam-Boom to the evening! Together with our smart and beautiful audience, we will explore: in rageful times, how do we get to joy?

Because make no mistake: Joy is where we are headed!

You know the drill – there will be songs and stories after which RAW + Char will ruminate, cogitate, contemplate, meditate and exculpitate (ok, we made that last word up, but it still applies...!) right out loud and right in front of you! If you bring curiosity and your great good cheer to the show, it will just be, like, So Fun!

A reminder that the RAWTalks are, indeed, RAW – so leave the little ones at home and run, come, see!

ABOUT Robert Arleigh White

Robert Arleigh White has directed over 70 plays and worked to produce dozens more throughout North Florida. Now living in the mountains of Western North Carolina, Bob is the Artistic Director for Asheville Community Theatre. From his perch on the mountaintop, he pays good and careful attention to all y’all sweethearts and treasured spots along the seashore and riverbanks of Northeast Florida. A Folio Award Winning Best Actor, Bob found the perfect performance partner in Charlotte Mabrey, and their decades-long collaboration has outlasted pets, people, and predicaments. Charlotte is, of course, a Legendary Civic Treasure. Formerly principal percussionist for the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra and a much beloved and revered Teacher of the Year for UNF, her collaboration on the RAWTalk Project is a full-on bona fide bonus! Her extraordinary record of artistic work and educational service in Northeast Florida notwithstanding, it is truly her eagerness to explore the performance art space that has many times lifted us all outside our boxes of predictability and sailed us right into the heart of joy.

All of which is to say: You do not want to miss this!

We look forward to seeing you at the lab!
