August 23rd & 24th
Up with People is coming to Jackson August 19-26! Up with People is a unique, non-profit global education, community service and performing arts program that takes students from around the globe on a 6-month, multi-continent, tour. During the 6-month tour, about 100 students from 20 different countries will travel to a new destination each week, living with local host families for a true cultural immersion experience. Members will spend a few days each week working with local community members on various volunteer and service projects. In addition, they will be a part of a live, high energy, show performed on Friday & Saturday August 23 & 24, 2013.
Voices, UWP’s latest production, is a performance featuring both original and popular music and is a dynamic blend featuring soloists, full cast production numbers, fast-moving choreography and colorful costumes. You will hear popular music form the 60′ to today, covering genres from rock and pop to ballads and hip hop.
Voices is inspired and motivated by recent worldwide events. The aim is to leave the audience feeling empowered to connect and create positive change in their communities, to’…rise above the noises, and listen to the voices of the world.’ This powerful, high-energy, two-hour production will leave you entertained and inspired-something the whole family will enjoy!
The beneficiary of this event will be Old Bill’s Fun Run. Ticket prices are $50 for Patron tickets, $20 for adults and $15 for students, seniors and children. Sponsors of the Events are; Teton County, WY, the Town of Jackson, The Jackson Hole Community Foundation, and Dr. Heidi Jost of Teton Orthopedics.
