Spend an unforgettable evening filled with Broadway favorites, heartfelt performances, and the incredible talents of Kat Agudo, accompanied by Linda Dowdell, along with her friends Kyle LeMaire, Morgan Bartholick, and Maggie Jo Bulkley who will make this a night to remember.
Most importantly, this evening is an opportunity for our community to surround Kat with love and support as she begins the difficult journey of rebuilding after this devastating loss.
Come for the music. Stay for the community. Give what you can to help Kat find her way home again.
Come for the music, stay for the existential crisis as genre-blurring jester and cellist Karen Hall peels back the layers of formality leaving you with only the humanity and insanity of the artist behind the instrument. And yourself.
