Embodiment
Macon Arts Alliance is excited to present their June show, “Embodiment”, featuring works by mixed media artist Courtenay Puckett. This mixed media body of work explores the banana tree as a metaphor for the human life cycle, its rhythms of growth, fruiting, decay, and renewal reflecting our own processes of becoming.
The opening reception will be at the Macon Arts Gallery on First Friday, June 5, from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
Additionally, Courtenay Puckett will be holding an Artist Talk with 478 Creatives at the Macon Arts Gallery on Thursday, June 18, from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm.
“Embodiment” will be available to view from June 5 to June 26.

Coal Country: A Documentary Play by Jessica Blank & Erik Jensen
The true story of the Upper Big Branch mine disaster through the words of the people who lived it—miners, family members, and investigators.By Jessica Blank & Erik Jensen
Music and Lyrics by Steve Earle
Directed by Sydney H. Chalfa
What happened underground should never have happened at all.
Coal Country tells the true story of the Upper Big Branch mine disaster—the worst mining catastrophe in the United States in forty years. Through the words of the people who lived it—miners, family members, and investigators—the play lays bare a system where profit was protected and lives were not.
This is documentary theatre at its most direct. No characters invented. No speeches polished. Just testimony—raw, human, and impossible to ignore.
Nine actors remain onstage for the entire performance, weaving together voices of grief, anger, memory, and resilience. Music by Steve Earle moves through the piece like a witness—sometimes a lament, sometimes a reckoning.
This is not a distant story. It’s about labor, responsibility, and the cost of looking the other way. It asks a simple, uncomfortable question: Who is accountable when safety becomes optional?
Performed in an intimate black box setting with audience on three sides, Coal Countryplaces you inside the story—close enough to feel the weight of every word.
A portion of the proceeds benefits Centenary Community Ministries.
This show contains adult language and themes.

Fractal Friday
Fractal Friday is BACK!
MAS will partner with the Fractal Foundation (Albuquerque, NM) to present these innovative art-infused science experiences in the planetarium which immerse audiences in flights through fractal animations (or complex, never-ending geometric patterns that repeat at different scales). Each experience is unique and showcases repeating patterns of fractals that have been augmented with dramatic flight movements and dynamic color cycling – plus live presenters offering information about the mathematical formulas that define fractals occurring in nature, from the growth of the tiniest plant up to the shapes of galaxies!
The 6 p.m. performance will be for family audiences and describe what fractals are and where they can be found. The 7 p.m. showing will be “Fractals Rock,” which will be a more experiential production.

Macon Film Guild Presents: "The Blue Trail"
A 75-year-old woman escapes surveillance and forced retirement, taking a boat through the Amazon to chase her dream of flight.
(Brazil, Drama/Sci-fi, subtitled, 1h, 25m)
Discussion after 2pm show
Directed by Gabriel Mascaro
Summary – In a not-so-distant dystopian future where the government sends seniors to isolated colonies under the guise of boosting the economy, 77-year-old Tereza (Denise Weinberg) decides her story is far from over. Refusing to surrender her independence, she embarks on a journey to pursue the dreams she is not yet ready to abandon. Along the way, she discovers freedom, companionship, and the joys of going wherever the river takes her.
Review Excerpts:
The Hollywood Reporter – What’s remarkable about The Blue Trail and makes it such a delight is that despite all the oppression in the air, it’s a movie filled with hope and faith in human resilience at any age.
Los Angeles Times – This is a rebellious, empathetic adventure story.
Screen Daily – The Blue Trail is entrancingly unpredictable in its picaresque unravelling, tinged with magical realist touches.
