Tickets are priced at $25 and $40 for floor seating and $35 for mezzanine, plus taxes, and can be purchased online at The Composers Showcase  through The Smith Center website Smith Center Composers Showcase or call ticketing at 702-749-2000 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Profits from ticket sales of the 90-minute musical showcase will benefit the TCS Entertainment Community Relief Fund which provides financial assistance to those in the local performing arts community who continue to struggle through the economic challenges of the pandemic-related shut-down.

This popular local non-profit, best known for presenting a monthly forum for songwriters, established the TCS Entertainment Community Relief Fund when the pandemic hit hard last year.  To help out-of-work entertainers and musicians who needed financial assistance, the mission expanded to give back to the community of supporters that has kept TCS alive and relevant for the past 15 years.  To date, $160,000 has been raised and 325 local entertainers, musicians and artists who applied for assistance have received financial aid from TCS.
