Rounding out Season 39 is an over-the-top, extravagantly fun series of concerts - "The Gay Kitchen Sink!"
Pride Month is never complete without an over-the-top, fabulous evening with the internationally acclaimed San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus! Celebrate Pride with SFGMC and our summer show - "The Gay Kitchen Sink" at the Nourse Theater, with very special guests The Kinsey Sicks.
"The Gay Kitchen Sink" is just what it sounds like - a delightfully spirited playlist of LGBT anthems, current favorites, and huge production numbers. You'll absolutely revel in music by gay icons like Cyndi Lauper, Elton John, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Gloria Gaynor, Sara Bareilles, Destiny's Child, Robyn, Taylor Swift, Kander & Ebb, Patsy Cline, and of course a little Broadway thrown in the mix.
Of course, we couldn't put on a Pride concert without a nod to the 1967 Summer of Love. The show opens with a rousing set of pieces honoring the 50th Anniversary of this momentous San Francisco revolution. In the Age of Aquarius, the hope was harmony and understanding. SFGMC starts by letting the sun shine in!
We will also present a few selections from its upcoming Lavender Pen Tour, which journeys to six Southern states this October to spread the Chorus' message and music of hope, compassion, and acceptance.
Also, don't miss The Kinsey Sicks, SFGMC's featured guest artists for "The Gay Kitchen Sink." The Kinsey Sicks are "America's Favorite Dragapella Beautyshop Quartet"... and they must be heard to be believed! The Washington Post writes, "If you haven't made the acquaintance of The Kinsey Sicks, it's high time you did... Uproarious... brilliant... authentically joyful," and KQED calls them "The Royal Shakespeare Company of drag performance."
For nearly 40 years, the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus (SFGMC) has served as an international standard bearer for a powerful mix of extraordinary musical excellence and mission-driven activism. Founded in 1978, it was the first choral organization to courageously proclaim its orientation in its name and is credited with helping start the LGBT choral movement that now spans the entire globe, galvanizing and changing the course of LGBT history.
