Join us as we celebrate Pride Month with a journey through the past 50 years of Pride Anthems. From Donna Summer and Queen to George Michael, Erasure, Madonna, Lady Gaga, and much more, these essential songs take us from disco to the present day. The story of the fight for LGBTQ+ equality is linked to this music, which evokes the struggles,heartache,and liberation of queer lives then and now.
Pride Anthems creates a vibrant musical experience that celebrates, inspires and commemorates the legacy and power of the Stonewall Riots, and takes you on a musical and cultural journey through thepast 50 years to today. Featuring Kevin Smith Kirkwood (Kinky Boots) and NYC cabaret-artist, Amy Jo Jackson,with musical direction by Brian J. Nash, Pride Anthems is a show for all ages to come together in song and celebration of where the LGBTQ+ community has come from and how far it has come since Stonewall!
PRIDE ANTHEMS is produced in partnership with Pride Live. A portion of the proceeds benefit Pride Live and the Stonewall National Monument Visitors Center (SNMVC) which will open in June 2024. To learn more about Pride Live, please visit, https://pridelive.org

Come early at 7pm for a screening of the documentary “La Gatita: Tales From The Litterbox," which centers the QTPOC-led, genderqueer, DIY drag collective La Gatita, based in New Brunswick, NJ. In less than one year, the La Gatita drag royalty revolutionized QT+ spaces in the city, from basements to brunches, building a loyal audience of rainbow community and family. The documentary features numerous stellar performances from Elizabeth New Jersey, Mx. Media, and Ms. Acid Refluxxx, as well as interviews with them, other La Gatita progenitors, and the local community that supports the movement. This project and its drag event originally premiered on December 15, 2023, and is the sixth-year continuation of the Trueselves trans and T+ historical project, in partnership with coLAB Arts and the Pride Center of New Jersey. (The run time of the documentary is 40 minutes.)
