❤️ Event Description for Facebook
🎭 Nooga Has Heart: An Afternoon for Life
A Benefit Performance Presented by Noogavision Theatre
Featuring the stage production “Who Lives?”
In partnership with the Kidney Foundation of Greater Chattanooga
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of art, theatre, and heart as Noogavision Theatre proudly launches its first Nooga Has Heart event — An Afternoon for Life.
This year’s benefit performance honors Laurence Woods, a Chattanooga wordsmith, poet, and musician who is currently awaiting a kidney transplant.
Laurence’s story of creativity and courage has inspired our team to build something bigger than a show — a movement of compassion that uses the arts to give back.
✨ The centerpiece of the event is the powerful play “Who Lives?” — a stirring production about survival, sacrifice, and the gift of life. Through storytelling, community, and purpose, we’re coming together to help Laurence meet critical needs during his transplant waiting journey.
🎫 Tickets:
$15 General Admission
$30 Supporter (includes name in the program)
$50 Spotlight Giver (reserved seating + thank-you gift)
Donation-only option available for those unable to attend
💡 Proceeds directly support Laurence Woods and help raise kidney health awareness across the Chattanooga community.
👗 Attire:
Semi-formal / smart casual — guests are encouraged to wear green or gold to honor kidney health awareness.
🚗 Parking:
Free on-site parking and accessible spaces available near the main entrance.
About Nooga Has Heart
Created by Noogavision Theatre, Nooga Has Heart is a new web series and performance initiative sharing real stories of hope, creativity, and community impact. Laurence’s story will also be featured in our upcoming Heart to Heart episode — marking the beginning of this ongoing series and movement.
There is no Heart without Art.
🩷 Presented by Noogavision Theatre in partnership with the Kidney Foundation of Greater Chattanooga.
