Last month Young@Heart presented 10 Alarm Fire: We Won’t Shut Up! live to a sold-out house at the Academy of Music Theatre in Northampton, MA. On December 20^th at 7:30PM you will be able to watch the virtual premiere of the concert film right here on Givebutter. A donation of $25 or more gets you an invite to the cast & crew Zoom afterparty. This is the key event to our $25,000 end-of-year fundraising campaign. Please help us reach our goal so we can continue our work on stage and in the prisons.

10 Alarm Fire: We Won’t Shut Up was our most urgent show yet – protest songs spanning continents and decades, sung in the here and now. It’s a performance filled with defiance by people who’ve lived long enough to know what’s at stake. Young@Heart has never been afraid to take risks. At ages 75+, we’ve seen enough to know how important it is to speak up.

And speak up we did. Here’s just a few of the comments from our live audience:

“A 10-alarm fire is right! At a time when the country’s leadership seems hell-bent on committing new acts of arson every day, it’s comforting to know that these folks who were firsthand witnesses to the civil rights movement, Vietnam, Watergate and more are still eager to fight the good fight. Superb song selections and stirring performances in a spirited defense of democracy.” — James Sullivan, author of “Which Side Are You On?: 20th Century American History in 100 Protest Songs”

“This was one of the most spectacular Young@Heart shows ever. The singing was fabulous by every soloist, the songs were amazing, the spirit mesmerizing, the spirit of protest and resistance deeply moving. I cried a lot. I LOVED every minute of it as did my partner and friend and everyone I saw after. Absolutely incredible work!!!”

“I loved the show. Wonderful songs, great voices and accompaniment as always!”

“An absolutely brilliant performance. Touché”

“What a magnificent show! As I watched the audience members around me, I saw that many were moved to tears by the songs.”

Expect to hear Woodie Guthrie, Marvin Gaye, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Mercedes Sosa, Rage Against the Machine and more. Please join us!
