Jessica Vosk, Marissa Rosen & Rueby Wood to Star in ARTS IGNITE RICHMOND: A BROADWAY SPECTACULAR

For one night only, an ensemble of Broadway performers will gather for an evening of songs and stories for Arts Ignite Richmond: A Broadway Spectacular on Saturday, July 9 at 7:30 PM at the Richmond Triangle Players' Robert B. Moss Theatre.

Conceived by Richmond local Dr. Keith Bell and Mary-Mitchell Campbell (Company, The Prom, Mean Girls), these artists invite an audience to witness a glimpse of Broadway's living room, delving into their personal journeys and singing Broadway hits. With music supervision by acclaimed Music Director Mary-Mitchell Campbell, this exceptional performance will include the voices of Jessica Vosk (Wicked, Fiddler on the Roof), Marissa Rosen (Legally Blonde, Footloose), and Rueby Wood (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Disney's Better Nate Than Ever). The performance will be followed by a VIP reception. Additional performers will be announced soon. Performers are subject to change.

"Too often in our culture the arts are undervalued and underappreciated," says Dr. Keith Bell. "Exposing the young people of today to quality arts education has been proven to provide a firm foundation for resilience, grit, and empathy; qualities needed to develop agency in life."

This event will support arts education and benefit an international arts organization, Arts Ignite with the mission to support young people in developing agency through the arts.

Tickets for this performance may be purchased online at https://donate.artsignite.org/richmond
