Join us for the next installment of CHIRP's unique storytelling and live music series, The First Time, with the theme "First Wish".
Six readers will share true stories of their "first wish," 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 Attempt" are:
* Deanna Ortiz, Comedian
* Brant Rosen, Rabbi
* Casey Brown, Comedian/Filmmaker
* Hope Arthur, Musician
* Khanisha Foster, Writer/Director
* Kristin Naomi Garcia, Actor/CHIRP Volunteer
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/
