Ticket Sales:
To register, visit our Eventbrite page to purchase tickets. Please note that an RSVP to this Meetup event does not guarantee a spot in the workshop.

Due to room capacity, we will only be selling a limited number of tickets. There are two options available, "Pay-What-You-Can" and "General Admission". Pay-What-You-Can are tickets sold on a sliding scale where you can select what amount you wish to pay. We want this event to be accessible to all who are interested and no one will be turned away due to a lack of funds. While ticket sales do help us fund these programs, we encourage you to consider what is a sustainable price for yourself.

General admission is the suggested price for tickets. $25/day or $50 for both days. Please select the option that you are most comfortable with.

Youth are more than welcome to join us and participate. We encourage being mindful and taking lots of breaks, as younger voices are more prone to strain.
