(PARSIPPANY, NJ) -- LoMotion Live invites the community to an inspiring evening of music, storytelling, and patriotism with America at 250: A Celebration in Song, a special benefit cabaret on Friday, July 17, 2026 at the Parsippany Arts Center. Showtime is 7:30pm. Proceeds from the evening will benefit the Elks Army of Hope, a charitable program dedicated to providing assistance to veterans, active-duty military personnel, and their families during times of need.

Featuring an exceptional cast of performers, America at 250: A Celebration in Song celebrates the spirit, history, and heart of America through an engaging collection of musical performances and stories. The evening stars Broadway actress Danielle Ferland, who originated the role of Little Red Riding Hood in Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods and appeared in the film tick, tick...BOOM!, alongside film and television actor Dave Murgittroyd, whose credits include Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, New Amsterdam, FBI: Most Wanted, and Elsbeth. Joining them is Dayna Grayber, whose theater credits include The Little Match Girl at Signature Theatre and the national tours of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and The Producers, along with Tait Ruppert, Missy Renwick, Elissa Strell, Scott Baird, Taylor Kurilew, and Tasha R. Williams, creating a memorable celebration of America's musical heritage.

Tickets are $26.50 and available for purchase online. The Parsippany Arts Center is located at 1130 Knoll Road in Boonton, New Jersey.

"We're honored to bring our community together through music while supporting those who have served our country," said Producing Artistic Director Lauren Moran. "This event is a celebration of America's enduring spirit and an opportunity to give back to the heroes and families who have sacrificed so much."

As the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, America at 250: A Celebration in Song offers audiences an opportunity to reflect on the country's history, resilience, and shared values through the power of live performance.
