About this event

Featuring Hezekiah Walker, Tamela Mann, Avery Sunshine, Charles Jenkins and Jekalyn Carr.

What to Expect

  • 1.Plan to arrive a bit early to park and find your way in since downtown Detroit traffic can get busy on Mother's Day. The 8:00 PM start means you’ll want to grab a drink or snack beforehand if the line at concessions is long.
  • 2.This is a high-energy, multi-artist gospel night with powerhouse vocals from Hezekiah Walker, Tamela Mann, Avery Sunshine, Charles Jenkins and Jekalyn Carr—let the harmonies carry you and have tissues ready for the emotional moments.
  • 3.The Fox Theatre offers strong acoustics and classic theater vibes; for the best sound, aim for center orchestra or mezzanine seating and check the venue’s seating chart in advance.
  • 4.There are plenty of dining options along Woodward Avenue; consider a pre-show dinner or post-show dessert within easy reach to maximize your Mother’s Day outing.
  • 5.If you need accessibility accommodations or have special seating requests, contact the Fox Theatre ahead of time so they can assist and seat you comfortably.
