For the Love of Music, Art & Reading
Experience a Living Storybook — One Night Only

This is not a concert.
It is an intimate, curated cultural experience where every seat directly supports a child’s literacy journey in Akron.

Join us for a one-night gathering that blends live music, visual art, fashion, storytelling, and community, designed to celebrate creativity while advancing the mission of The Marion F. Walker Queen’s Project—an Akron-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing free reading mentorship, brand-new books, and year-round literacy programming for children and families.


📖 The Living Storybook | How the Night Unfolds

Guests move through the evening as chapters of a living storybook, featuring:

  • 🎶 Live musical performances
  • 🎨 Curated visual art gallery
  • 📖 Author’s Lounge & storytelling moments
  • 💙 VIP Blue Carpet experience
  • 🥂 Premium & VIP access options for deeper immersion

Each ticket level offers a unique way to experience the story—while directly fueling literacy access for Akron’s youth.


🎟️ Tickets & Support

To minimize fees and maximize impact, all tickets are sold through Zeffy, our nonprofit ticketing partner.
