Benefit Concerts
Melica loves giving back to the community by performing in benefit concerts, volunteering for different events around town, and giving back to the communities that support us! Here are just some of the big events that we perform in.
Girls Night Out
Girl's Night Out (GNO) is Melica's annual benefit concert raising money toward the Clare House of Lancaster, a women's shelter helping homeless women and children receive safety, support, and help to get back on their feet again. This is the only show annually that has all women performers, inviting women from other performing art clubs such as Vocalign, Theatre, Mad Cow Improv Troupe, Sweet Ophelia (Franklin and Marshall), Vocal Harmonix (Lancaster, PA), and Emotion Dance Club.
In 2026, we also donated part of the proceeds to PA Immigrant and Refugee Network. We raised $1,319 for both organizations! Thank you so much to everyone that came out to support!
