In the wake of devastating wildfires that displaced dozens of families in Pacific Palisades, a group of young performers from Theatre Palisades Youth/Teen will stage a special benefit cabaret titled Things We Found in the Fire on Saturday, May 18, at Harvard-Westlake School’s Rugby Auditorium.

The performance will feature solo and group acts ranging from vocal and instrumental music to dance, improv, and stand-up comedy. The event aims to spotlight youth talent while raising awareness and support for arts communities impacted by the recent fires.

The collaboration was made possible through TPY/Teen music director Gaba, a Harvard-Westlake alumnus, who was contacted by the school’s Performing Arts Director. Students from Harvard-Westlake—some of whom are from the Palisades themselves—will co-produce and mentor TPY/Teen performers in preparation for the event.

Originally scheduled to take place in the Palisades, the cabaret was relocated due to fire damage in the area. Harvard-Westlake School is located at 3700 Coldwater Canyon Ave. in Studio City.
