The saying “Home is where the heart is” often resonates with people, and JAM Creative hopes audiences will connect with its newest show “Home” in a similar way.
“Home” is set to have “a lot of heart and hilarity on stage,” a benefit storytelling production by JAM Creative, with proceeds going to Burbank’s housing and homelessness service provider Home Again L.A.
“I am proud to be part of a show benefitting Home Again L.A., an organization with the expertise to support unhoused families and help them become self-sufficient,” said Vicki Juditz, a storyteller, actress, playwright and chair of the Sustainable Burbank Commission who has performed at theaters and festivals across the country.
The Colony Theatre will host the benefit on Tuesday, April 30, at 6:30 p.m. “Home” is JAM Creative’s 12th storytelling production.
The show flaunts folk-pop music by the inimitable singer-songwriter Arielle Silver, who will kick off the show with a half-hour set. She will also serve up snippets of songs between the stories.
“We are grateful to our generous sponsors Universal Studios Discover a Star, Volpei Gussow Real Estate Group, Schafer Electric, Ume Federal Credit Union, Color Images Copy & Print, Susy Shearer Photography and Video Ventures Productions for making our show possible,” JAM Creative said in a statement. “Thanks to the support of our community partners and our loyal audiences, JAM Creative has raised over $40,000 for local charities over the past seven years.”
Tickets range in price from $25-$100, with all proceeds going to support HALA’s work helping families in need find housing and life-changing resources. Tickets can be purchased at eventbrite.com/e/home-a-storytelling-benefit-show-tickets-866660273207.
