Join us for the next installment of CHIRP's unique storytelling and live music series, The First Time, with the theme "First Shift".
Six readers will share true stories of their "first shift," however they choose to interpret the theme.
Each reader also chooses a song that relates to their piece, known only to them and our fab house band, The First Time Three.
Once the reader finishes their piece, the band plays the related song, often with a unique arrangement.
Hosted by Jenn Sodini.
Our readers for "First Shift" are:
* Jess DeBakey, Podcaster
* Ariel Van Cleave, Journalist
* Dr. Faiz Jiwani, MD, Physician
* Hillary Stone, Musician
* David Faris, Writer/Professor
* Ann Filmer, Director
Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door. A portion of the sales benefit CHIRP, a 501(c)3 organization! https://martyrslive.com/wed-dec-17-doors-630pm-show-730pm-12adv-15show
