"Laurie Berkner does what Fred Rogers did: respect, validate and reassure young children."

Laurie Berkner LIVE!

Laurie will perform some of her greatest hits that encourage kids and grownups alike to get up, sing along and move, including “Victor Vito,” “We Are The Dinosaurs,” “Pig On Her Head,” “Waiting for the Elevator,” and “Chipmunk at the Gas Pump,” plus some new hits! Bring a stuffed animal (for your head) and your dancing shoes!

$1 will be added to single and VIP tickets supporting DE-based charity  Faithful Friends Animal Society – a private, nonprofit animal welfare organization with a No Kill shelter and community veterinary clinic. All animals in their care stay with them until they are placed into new homes. For two decades their advocacy has vastly improved outcomes for shelter animals saving thousands of easily adoptable, trainable, and treatable pets. With an unflagging commitment to their mission, they continue to advocate for reform, save lives and reduce pet relinquishment through local programs and services.
