Host families needed for Up with People Performers!

Attention South Shore Friends:

The time is here and the Up with People Advance Team has arrived! The team is made up of Katie from the US, Pieter from Belgium and Julia from Germany.
They will be spending the next 6 weeks in South Shore preparing for the international cast of Up with People to arrive on Sept 17th.

Here is the first of a few ways you, your family, friends and neighbors can get involved in this cultural experience:

Host an Up with People Cast Member…it’s simple and FUN! (Homes for 100 needed)

*Simply provide a place to sleep, breakfast and dinner and limited transportation in the morning and evening from Sept.17th-24th

*You’ll receive 2 complimentary tickets to the show for hosting!

*Contact Julia Frey at Julia.upwithpeople@gmail.com
or 720-375-1787 with questions or for more information.

The 100-member cast is between the ages of 18 and 29 years old and represents 20 different countries. Cast members are out of the house during regular business hours, volunteering, rehearsing or taking part in educational workshops. Sunday, September 23rd is a ‘host family day,’ you may choose to show them around your city, include them in a family event or simply relax at home.
