The Vero Beach branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) is set to bring a unique blend of humor and heart to the Treasure Coast this March. In an upcoming fundraising event that promises to be as touching as it is funny, the organization will present The Best Friends Variety Hour at the Emerson Center.
This fast-paced comedy showcase celebrates the enduring power and hilarity of female friendship. The performance features Kris and Alli, a duo who have been best friends for decades. Their on-stage chemistry serves as the foundation for a show that mixes sharp wit, playful storytelling, and improvisation. Organizers promise an afternoon where the audience can expect to laugh until their sides ache, witnessing the kind of dynamic that only comes from years of shared history.
Beyond the entertainment, the event carries a significant mission for the local community. As a 501(c)3 charitable organization, the AAUW-Vero Beach is dedicated to advancing equity for women and girls.
Proceeds from the event will directly benefit scholarships for women and girls in Indian River County, supporting educational opportunities and investing in the next generation of leaders, creatives, and changemakers.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, March 7. While the comedy performance begins promptly at 4:00 p.m., attendees are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy a pre-show wine and cheese reception. This social hour provides a perfect opportunity for community members to connect before settling in for the high-energy performance.
The production leans into the sentiment famously voiced by Jane Fonda, who described women’s friendships as a “renewable source of power.” The Emerson Center is expected to be crackling with that energy as Kris and Alli take the stage. This is a prime opportunity for Vero Beach residents to enjoy a cultural outing that supports a vital local cause.
