For those of you in and around Chicago, the fabulous Missy Young, who recently raised over $1,600 for Season of Concern in audience donations collected after her performance in "Urinetown" with Big Noise Theatre Company, is hosting a one night only concert benefit for Season of Concern this Sunday, June 1st at 7:00 p.m. in the Bailiwick Studio Theater.For those of you who don't know, I am the Executive Director of Season of Concern, the Chicago theatre community's fundraising effort in the fight against HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening illnesses.
Missy's concert is not just a benefit, it's also her birthday party.
The concert will be selections from a well loved Broadway musical soon to be closing.
In addition to Missy, the concert also features Jon Cunningham, Rob Smith, Barbara Myers, Vallea E Woodbury, Sean Walton, Aaron Holland, Jayson Brooks, Gerald Richardson and Bethany Thomas.
The incredible Rick Frendt is at the piano.
And the best part is the concert is free! Missy will asking for donations during the intermission and hopes to raise $500 for Season of Concern that night. I have a feeling she's going to go well beyond her fundraising goal!
See you Sunday! This is one birthday party you won't want to miss!
