Proud ‘N Pink is not your average cabaret. It’s part concert, part catharsis, and a full-throated celebration of love and the strength we find in one another when times get tough. You’ll hear the power-pop anthems of Pink, the poetic brilliance of Maya Angelou, and the unapologetic songs from artists like Chappell Roan, Pentatonix, Janelle Monáe, Doechii, and Bad Bunny. This is a setlist with purpose. Our ensemble TRANScendent will also premiere a powerful new commission titled “They Cannot Erase Us,” created for this moment.
If you’ve been searching for a space to laugh, to feel, to fight back with music and meaning, you’ve found it. 🩷🎤
We are thrilled to welcome back Guest Conductor Dr. Rebecca Gruber for this performance of "Proud 'n Pink." You'll remember Dr. Gruber from our fabulously entertaining holiday production, "Thankful," last December.
