LGBTQ+ Lifeline Fundraiser Cabaret Comes to the Green Room 42

The Green Room 42 will soon present “The LGBTQ+ Lifeline: A Fundraiser Cabaret” in support of The Trevor Project on August 6th at 9:30 PM. Join for an evening of powerful, performances and community solidarity from young queer artists and allies. 

This special event raises vital funds for The Trevor Project in response to the closure of The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services program in July. Featuring a diverse lineup of talent, the cabaret celebrates resilience, identity, queerness, and preserved lighthearted comedy in a performance that balances activism and entertainment, allowing performers to use their talents to make a positive change. All proceeds from this event will be donated to The Trevor Project. 

“The LGBTQ+ Lifeline: A Fundraiser Cabaret” plays at The Green Room 42 on August 6th. Tickets are available starting at $19, with no food or beverage minimum. Tickets and more information are available at www.thegreenroom42.com.
