Road Trip: Singing Our Way ‘Cross the USA
Our Annual Fundraiser/Performance Extravaganza!
Click Here For the Road Trip Program!
Get your kicks on Route 66, leave your heart in San Francisco, and start spreadin' the news because you are invited to join us on a musical journey across the lower 48…cabaret style! Our annual fundraiser program will feature iconic songs inspired by the cities and states we know and love, sparkling choreography, costumes, and the kind of surprises that Firelighter performances are known for.
Spend an evening supporting our mission with a bountiful Hors d’Oeuvres buffet, silent auction, full-service bar, and a show you won’t want to miss! Online auction items will be available in the week leading up to the event.
Reserve your table early! Seating is limited each night and this popular event always sells out!

SEATING OPTIONS
For the performance, in a ‘Road Trip’-themed departure from our usual setup, we will have general floor seating (think sitting in a car on the highway to adventure) and a limited number of first-come-first-served reservable 2-person cafe tables on the balcony. When you select that option in the purchasing process, you will be charged for two tickets. Add your name and your guest's name in the field provided.
Safety Notes
In accordance with new King Country mandates, indoor masking is optional in our event venue.
We will require all audience members to show proof of vaccination or a negative test (within 72 hours) to gain entry to the event, since food and drink will be served.
For audience safety, we will offer very limited seating (at less than 1/2 capacity) at two-person cafe tables for each performance as well as individual, well-spaced floor seating. We will not have the larger group tables we've used in the past.
Choir members will test before each performance and will perform unmasked.
Should we need to cancel a live performance due to Covid-19 safety issues, we hope you'll enjoy the video performance which is included with your purchase. We apologize but we are not able to provide refunds.
Parking Directions
The Congregational Church on Mercer Island has ample on-site parking. Please park in spaces provided in the parking lot as opposed to the neighborhood.

“Stunning. The choir is a conduit of the Spirit’s inner work.”
“I loved the concert. You’re an amazing talent and transmitter of joy. I expect to attend all concerts you produce, especially if they are sacred or ecstatic in any way. Your director’s musicology is astounding and the stagecraft = amazing.”
“Very physical response: I actually shivered. I cried. It’s only intermission! The concert was much fun! And the singing magnificent! Thank you!”
“I was deeply touched by the music of your choir.”
