‘Carmen’
Even in a pandemic, the show must go on. Come to the outdoor “Carmen Concert” in Eager Park to experience the groundbreaking musical that the Voices of Carmen cast and crew has been working tirelessly to produce. This musical, written and arranged by CJay and Winston Philip, was created in 2018 as a way to examine conflict among young people, to bring awareness to emotional health and to call for improved community dialogue. Each performance has an interactive component that allows the audience comment and discuss on the issues as they arise. “I’m very excited to continue this program for our young people who’ve had so much of their lives cancelled this year already,” CJay Philip say. All performances are free but rely on audience donations. Event starts at 6:30 p.m. in Eager Park For information visit their website.

Best Seats in the House
Your own house, that is. It might be a while before we’re going to in-person concerts again, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still get that live music feel. This Saturday at 8 p.m. Super City performs a virtual concert broadcasted live from the Creative Alliance Theater as part of the theater’s new Virtual Front Row event. With the band’s melodic, guitar-driven pop and exhilarating choreography, there’s no doubt you’ll be on your feet and dancing in your living room as if you were there in person. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Equal Justice Initiative that works to end mass incarceration, excessive punishment, and racial inequality. Tickets start at $8. For more information, visit creativealliance.org.
