The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Powerhouse vocalist and Broadway star Shoshana Bean is back for her third fundraiser for Beaverton High School’s performing arts department — this time, streamed at YouTube.com/ShoshanaBean.

The Shoshana Bean and Friends: An Evening of Broadway show will be streaming live on YouTube and will welcome Beaverton School District students hand-picked by Shoshana Bean from a special Instagram video contest in addition to special industry guests including Broadway, TV, and film star Jeremy Jordan and Tony and Grammy Award-Winning performer Cynthia Erivo. And this year’s concert theme will showcase all those Broadway tunes we know and love.

Truly an example of “the show must go on,” this concert was originally scheduled for April in the school’s auditorium, but due to the governor’s orders surrounding the pandemic — and school closures — Bean had to get creative and see if there was still a way to make it happen for this year’s students. The yearly show continues to demonstrate the power of voices coming together for good.

The concert addresses the need for alternative arts funding due to budget cuts. To date, Bean’s Beaverton High School fundraising concerts have raised more than $50,000 for the school’s performing arts department. Funds have helped to upgrade facilities, pay for student participation, and provide scholarships for graduating seniors.

And this year, viewers from home can click a “donate” button during the show to show their support for the musicians while making a donation to the school.
