LaDy-SN3AK LIVE: ♀Known to Inspire Livestream

This is a space for music, testimonies, poetry, and honoring the power of women/ femme folks. This event is asking for a $12 donation. All proceeds will directly support The UC Theatre’s Education programs.

LaDy-SN3AK has partnered with The UC Theatre and RYSE Youth Center to host this event to celebrate the young women in our East Bay Rysing program, as well as some friends from the community.

East Bay Rysing, is an artist development program that helps up and coming Bay Area performers grow their craft by taking development classes at RYSE, working with LaDy-SN3AK, and performing on The UC Theatre’s stage!

This event will be introducing a few of our East Bay Rysing participants to the world and highlighting a few participants you’ve already met with our second livestream show of the year. This event will be set up like a night time television talk show (think Jimmy Kimmel Live) with a few live performances and interview segments.
