The evening will feature the talents of Adam Gwon, Julianne Wick Davis, Bobby Cronin, Sam Willmott, Ewalt & Walker and Andre Catrini.

Produced, created and hosted by Cronin, Inspired, according to press notes, is a benefit concert series for animal rescue organizations across the country that "plays every two to three months, with a rotating line-up of some of today’s exciting musical theatre writers in a casual and intimate setting as they sit behind the piano and, unlike traditional concerts of their material, perform songs by other writers that have inspired their work. The Inspired series hopes to spread the word about the 2.7 million adoptable animals that are euthanized each year in America."

Jessica Kahkoska serves as associate producer.
