See artists', advocates', and socialites' hidden talents and performances with a TWIST!
By Natasha T. Brown
I love a sophisticated benefit show that’s unlike anything happening! In the midst of tons of hip-hop shows and live concerts, this event offers a great opportunity to see your favorite indie artists unwind, have fun and showcase a different side of themselves! On Tuesday, May 28, artists will hit the stage for the #WR4OK “Twisted” Improv Oklahoma Disaster Relief Benefit Show to help families adopted by Project Giveback following the deadly tornado in Oklahoma last week.
Will Rap 4 Food, Inc., Project Giveback and Think Brown INK have planned an interesting show in which recording artists, advocates and socialites will perform their hidden talents. The performers are well-known faces in the region’s entertainment scene, but their hidden talents will not be revealed until the event. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go towards Project Giveback’s Oklahoma Disaster Relief. Project Giveback is a 501(c)(3) organization, and all donations are tax deductable. Donations may also be made online at http://www.projectgiveback.org/donate.
