We are all living with this new normal. The economic impact on the performing artist community has been devastating. Green Kill live streaming events are accessed by making a donation here. The eventbrite system requires that you contribute a minimum of 1 dollar. All proceeds are divided equally between the performers and Green Kill. Green Kill is able to bring this live stream to the public at great personal cost. Please help us to keep this quality program going.
