With roles in Hamilton and West Side Story, among others, we hope to present their talents over a series of evenings in the Community Garden . Local jazz artists will also delight during this summer performance series. A open mic will be offered to yet undiscovered talent in the audience. Funds raised(and100% matched via this campaign) will pay for stipends for unemployed performers, as well as staging equipment and light refreshments for the audience.

Why we‘re doing it
Our series will enliven the community with performing arts and make performances more accessible to a broader audience, including residents from a nearby youth group home and nearby homeless shelter . It will also will provide some financial assistance to an industry especially hard hit by the pandemic. It will also foster a sense of community and fellowshp eroded by the pandemic, while strengthening our appreciation for local parks.
