Yes! It will be Saturday night. Tickets are not available yet and more details will be announced soon!
In the past, we have offered a donation-only model; however, with increased demand for this year's summer show, we knew that this would not be feasible. We don't want people to stand in line only to find out that there are no seats left for them! That's why we decided to sell tickets ahead of time.
Purchasing tickets ahead of time will guarantee you a seat, and there will be pews blocked off for those who purchased tickets. Therefore you will likely sit closer to the front, rather than toward the back or the balcony.
If there are seats still available the day of the show, the Pay What You Can seating will be toward the back outside of the blocked pews labeled "Ticketed Seating." Therefore your seat will be either towards the back or in the balcony, depending on how many seats are available!
Yes, that is the goal! Nothing beats in-person music, but if you are out of town or cannot make it in-person, we will be livestreaming the show. Further details on which platforms it will be on will be announced closer to the show date.
