Pick of the Day: Lorelei Ramirez-Art Is Easy-Citizenship Day Celebration
September 8, 2020
News
benefit, bowen yang, julio torres, karen chee, lorelei ramirez, new american economy, new americans campaign

In honor of Citizenship Day (U.S.) on Thurs. Sept. 17th, Lorelei Ramirez will be doing a very special edition of her Art is Easy that will tie together comedy, art, and an extensive look at immigration in the U.S. It’s a hysterical, mind-bending sort of show unlike really anything that you’ve gotten to see anywhere else on the Internet (unless you’ve been joining Lorelei with their Art Is Easy live-stream).

Joining Lorelei will be the likes of such comedy and art luminaries as Julio Torres and Bowen Yang, both from SNL, and Karen Chee from Late Night with Seth Meyers. It very well may be one of the more enlightening nights of comedy you’ll ever get to experience.

This edition of Lorelei’s Art Is Easy as part of a Citizen Day Celebration is set for Thurs. Sept. 17th at 4PM PT/7PM ET. RSVP here (donations, $10 is suggested, will be accepted for New Americans Campaign to help mitigate the costs associated with citizenship)

Slated to join in the delightful live-reading chaos are Ira Madison III (as Bethenny), Phillip Henry (as Ramona), Natalie Walker (as Sonja), Ryan Houlihan (as Luann), Milly Tamarez (as Dorinda), Paul McCallion (as Tinsley), Michael Benjamin (as Carole) and Sarah Galli (as Narrator).

benefit, final show, immigration law firm, los angeles, public school stories, RAICES, storytelling

Public School Stories has been carrying the torch as one of the best live storytelling shows in LA thanks to stellar booking and their insistence on the stories only living at the show and not on a podcast or anywhere else. You have to be there to see it and it’s just a little extra special because of that.

So, join them in their final show on Wed., Dec. 5th, which also happens to be their annual charity Winter Formal that will be raising funds for RAICES, Immigration Law Firm. 

They haven’t announced the line-up, but we’re sure that all-star hosts/producers Stephen Falk, Joey Slamon, James Urbaniak, Natasha Vargas-Cooper will not disappoint.
