TrueSongs

This unique annual show features original songs and first-person stories revealing the good work being done by local nonprofits, the courage and commitment of everyday people, and the power of songs to open hearts and create understanding.

Over several months, Caffe Lena songwriters have worked with local people who have endured significant life challenges. Out of that partnership comes a performance like no other: a snapshot of real-life struggles, kindness, and determination unfolding all around us. TrueSongs will change the way you see Saratoga.

Held at Universal Preservation Hall, this year's show features stories and songs about an athlete who keeps playing despite losing his eyesight; a restaurant worker who found his purpose running a food pantry program; a young mom whose health crisis became a foundation to help others; a person creating space for the natural world to flourish in town; and a young woman who has overcome profound learning challenges to live a full life of music, friendship, and independence.

This year's speakers, songwriters, and team coaches:

• CAMP ABILITIES
• WHITMAN FOUNDATION
• WILDWOOD
• SOBRO CONSERVANCY
• FRANKLIN COMMUNITY CENTER FOOD PANTRY
