After taking the Talbot Interfaith Shelter funtime fundraiser online for two years – thanks to COVID restrictions – Lip Sync Battle 2023, presented by Sun Management Rising Technologies, returns to its roots with a full live show on Saturday, April 29 at the Waterfowl Building (former Armory) in Easton. Doors open at 6 p.m. for light fare, cocktails, mixing, mingling, and photo booth snapshots. Showtime is at 7 p.m.
There are three competition categories in this year’s competition: Live Performance, Videos Presented at the Live Show, and Online-Only Videos. Every team is competing to raise the most money in support of Talbot Interfaith Shelter’s mission to provide shelter, stability, support, and a path to success for local families and individuals in need. The winners in each group will be announced at the end of the show, as will the “People’s Choice” award, which is decided by audience applause.
“We are so excited to bring everyone back together once again this year,” says TIS executive director Julie Lowe. “There is absolutely nothing like the energy in the room during Lip Sync Battle. To look out and see a beautiful cross-section of our community and watch them share laughter and joy together is truly magical, and we just can’t wait.”
Early voting in the competition has already begun, and the community can visit talbotinterfaithshelter.org/
Those interested in becoming a Lip Sync Battle sponsor or volunteering during the event should contact TIS development director Laura Richeson at 443-786-6962 or lauraricheson@
Talbot Interfaith Shelter is a homeless shelter and transitional housing program based in Easton, MD and serving the five counties of the Mid-Shore (Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Annes). They have developed the comprehensive S4 Program (Shelter, Stability, Support, Success) designed to guide local families and individuals from homelessness to self-sufficiency.
Guests begin at one of TIS’ neighboring shelter homes – Easton’s Promise for families and Evelyn’s Place for single men and women – where they receive case management and attend life skills training while they work to attain financial stability. Once they are ready, guests move into one of TIS’ 15 off-site transitional apartments, where they continue to receive case management while their portion of rent gradually increases until they are able to sustain their expenses.
