Wherever You Are Virtual Tour Show 6
Event Information
About this Event
Sunday December 6th at 2pm EST
Featuring: Milck, Ari Hest, Ameenah Kaplan (Director), and Alex Wong
While there’s plenty to be bummed about this year due of the loss of in-person shows and the ability to feel energy coming off a stage, I have also been incredibly inspired by some of the unique advantages to the online show medium that gives audiences a way to connect that you actually couldn’t have at a traditional show. The potential to play shows with friends all over the world, and collaborate with artists in other mediums in a brand new type of “live” show inspired me to create WHEREVER YOU ARE - A VIRTUAL BENEFIT TOUR TO STAY CONNECTED.
The show consists of two in-the-round performances with two of my favorite musical artists, Milck & Ari Hest, and a collaboration with director Ameenah Kaplan.
100% of ticket sales will benefit the following charities: Sunrise Movement, Black Emotional & Mental Health Collective, and Hate Is A Virus. Tipping will be set up for each artist and encouraged.
Tickets to individual shows are $15 each with a capacity of 50 tickets per show. you can also become a Patreon member at any level and receive special “side stage” access to EVERY SINGLE SHOW. Patrons also get access to a special VIP package which includes a meet and greet with the performers and a companion pack with specially curated items to enhance your sensory experience of each show.
