Before the curtain rises, guests are invited into an intimate, sensory-led gathering designed to spark connection, conversation, and reflection. The Wick and Wine Experience presents an immersive candle-pouring experience inspired by themes from Netta Walker’s keerah at Definition Theatre.
Through curated fragrance blending, intentional conversation prompts, music, and storytelling, guests will create a custom candle while engaging in a warm, community-centered experience designed to help people slow down, connect, and arrive fully present for the performance ahead. This is not a traditional candle-making class. It’s a guided social experience rooted in atmosphere, creativity, and meaningful connection.
Each ticket includes:
A custom candle-pouring experience
Curated music and guided conversation elements
Complimentary wine

keerah
by Netta Walker
directed by McKenzie Chinn
Two aspiring young writers meet in a Chicago neighborhood on the cusp of gentrification. Ciara, a Black American poet, and Cormac, an Irish writer on a J1 visa. They connect over their shared love of language, literature, and the art of cruelty. What begins as fun flirtation transforms into an intense summer romance—until immigration, bad decisions, and unspoken truths tear them apart.
