The Recollectors Tickets

The Recollectors are a storytelling and oral-history collective founded in 2013 by Alysia Abbott and Whitney Joiner. What began as a digital community and archival project about children who lost parents to AIDS has grown into a national platform for powerful, intimate narrative performances. Rather than a traditional music act, The Recollectors center memory, community, and care through spoken word, essays, and oral histories shared in live settings. Their work is produced in partnership with the NYC AIDS Memorial and The Generations Project, bringing together generations to preserve and reflect on personal histories related to the AIDS pandemic.

Whether you’re in New York City or catching a live show on tour, The Recollectors invite audiences into meaningful conversations about resilience, loss, and connection. Their performances are a blend of personal storytelling, archival materials, and live narration that resonate with diverse audiences across cities and venues.

Upcoming appearances include a public performance at the Blue Jay Listening Room in Jacksonville Beach, FL on January 3, 2025. For the most current schedule, check local listings and venue pages as dates are announced.

Secure your seats and support memory-forward storytelling with this impactful, non-musical live experience.
