At the end of your week you want to unwind.

Signal Boost has just what you need: special performances from new and familiar faces sharing their passion for performance, online, for our audience. 

These shows are free to view, but be sure to RSVP as they sometimes require special links to watch live. Plus, that gives you a chance to make a small (optional) donation to support the program, because we pay all of these artists for their time and talent.

Schedule

All Programs Begin at 7:00 pm except where noted.
