NEW! We're excited to announce that our host will be internationally renowned
Contemporary Jazz saxophonist Michael Lington.

Michael will be mingling during our VIP Reception and his mentee, Frank, will be performing a song for the audience to kick off the show. We’re delighted to have Michael with us and encourage you to learn more about his involvement as a mentor with Create Now.

"LA Street Scenes 3: Everyone Has a Story" is a compelling and powerful experience that depicts the true moments of those who live and die on LA's streets. Based on actual events, the play is constructed from original stories written by the young men and women who lived them. The stories were developed as part of Create Now’s ongoing writing workshops led by writer and director, Diane Namm at a local detention camp, foster group home and drug rehabilitation facility. Each year, Namm adds new stories to this organic production, re-constructing the story framework to incorporate new narratives.

The VIP wine and hors d'oeuvres reception begins at 6:30 pm as does the premium silent auction, which raises significant funds to help high-risk and at-risk youth in our community. Featured items include a walk-on role in a video of a Top Billboard artsist , signed Counting Crows guitar, saxophone lesson from Michael Lington and private sax lesson, private drum lesson from Mark Schulman, drummer for P!NK and Cher, travel, wine, art, collectibles and much more! The performance begins at 8 pm.VIP's also receive priority seating and a gift bag.
