Fredi Walker-Browne Joins NYCGMC for '(Accentuate the) Positive' Tonight

Guest star Fredi Walker-Browne, who originated the role of Joanne in the Broadway hit Rent, will delight audiences with her passion, drive and vocal artistry. "We have an eclectic program of diverse music and performers who will help NYCGMC express in song how the influence of HIV/AIDS has changed and continues to grow. For example, straight women of color are one of the fastest growing groups of new HIV infection," said Artistic Director, Charlie Beale. "The pandemic is close to our hearts and a fact of life 30 years on. Fredi is a consummate musician and ceaseless campaigner for human rights and it is fabulous that we can include some of her material, along with the perspectives and resources of our community partners to make (Accentuate the) Positive even more powerful."

(Accentuate the) Positive will explore how life with HIV and AIDS has changed after three decades. We will recount fascinating, moving and at times hilarious stories of life 30 years later: life in an age where HIV is manageable but stigma still exists; life among survivors who saw the worst and those from a younger generation who are finding their own voices; and life in 2011, when HIV doesn't make the news but still affects our choices.
