Lineage and Chris Pierce began their collaboration back in 2007, when they met performing at a concert supporting those affected by cancer. Moved and inspired by his music, Thomas approached Pierce about choreographing to his songs, and he happily agreed. Quickly, the two discovered that they had a very similar compulsion to create art as a way of processing pain, sharing joy, and facilitating connection with others. They presented their first concert together to support Pasadena's Living Beauty Cancer Foundation. Within a few years, they had developed an original show called Defining Moments, which premiered at Lineage in 2010. With nearly over a dozen Chris Pierce original pieces in their repertory, Lineage and Pierce have been performing all over Pasadena ever since. They joined together again during the pandemic and created zoom performances in people's backyards and drive-in concerts on the rooftops of parking structures. When the Eaton Fire hit, Pierce and Thomas connected immediately, both compelled to help in any way possible. Both of them Pasadena natives, there was no question they would come together to try and help the community in any way they could. Pierce attended St. Mark's school, which was destroyed in the fire. On his instagram, he shared his devastation at that loss: "It's where I discovered a love for singing and performing. It's also where I first discovered a connection to service and spirit and the importance of compassion and empathy." "Join us on Monday, February 3rd as Chris Pierce and Lineage team up once again, this time in support of the community that is so important to both of them!". All of the artists and staff will be donating their efforts for this show so that 100% of the proceeds can go where they are needed most. For more information on Chris Pierce, please visit his website. Tickets* $30 adult, $20 student/senior. Tickets are offered free to those who have been displaced by the fire. Tickets available here. Seating is limited so, please reserve your seats ASAP.   Proceeds will go towards St. Mark's School and Pasadena Educational Foundation
