The Flagpole Radio Band — the house band for Flagpole Radio Café — will perform a special show next month that will benefit fellow hometown organization Ben’s Lighthouse.

The show is scheduled for Saturday, March 14, at 7 pm, at Newtown Meeting House, 31 Main Street. Doors will open at 6:30.

Tickets are $25 each and available at benslighthouse.org.

Ben’s Lighthouse began as a grassroots organization following 12/14. Founded to honor 6-year-old Benjamin Wheeler, Ben’s enthusiasm for life and his love of lighthouses are the energy that is carried on through the work of the organization.

The mission of Ben’s Lighthouse is to foster all children’s potential to build a more compassionate and connected world. Ben’s Lighthouse offers The Isle of Skoo program, which helps children and teens develop empathy, self-awareness, and social connection. The lighthouses that Ben loved provide the perfect metaphor that guides the organization’s work. Through music, puppetry, and mentorship, participants are encouraged to find and share their own light — to stand tall and shine bright.

Traditionally presented at Edmond Town Hall, Flagpole Radio Café features a special guest artist as well as an engaging mix of music by the Flagpole Radio Café Orchestra and radio style comedy sketches by the Flagpole Shakespeare Repertory Theatre. The ensemble comprises musicians Jim Allen, Rick Brodsky, Howie Bujese, Cadence Carroll, and Francine Wheeler.
