Three LGBT Youth Groups Receive Tickets to SDGMC's THE NUTCRACKER
A donation of $1,000 to the San Diego Gay Men's Chorus (SDGMC) "Be a Chorus Hero" program promises to make the season bright for the clients and volunteers of three non-profit organizations serving San Diego's LGBT youth.
Recipients of the gift include The Center's Youth Services; the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and the Lambda Archives Student Volunteer Program. Each group will receive a block of donated tickets to SDGMC's holiday show The Nutcracker (Men in Tights!) on December 14 and 15 at the Balboa Theatre.
"We are thrilled that donors are sponsoring LGBT youth to come enjoy our show," said SDGMC Artistic Director Gary Holt. "Our holiday production is always wonderful and uplifting, but also full of fun and mischief. No matter what your age, I guarantee you'll leave with a smile on your face and in the holiday spirit."
The "Be a Chorus Hero" program was established as an SDGMC outreach program for social service and non-profit groups. Past recipients have included Being Alive, Mama's Kitchen and Stepping Stone. To make a tax deductible ticket donation for these or other organizations, or for more information, call Bob Lehman at (619) 850-8698.
The Nutcracker (Men in Tights!) opens Saturday, Dec. 14 at 8 p.m. with a matinee performance on Sunday, Dec. 15 at 3 p.m. at the Balboa Theatre. Tickets may be purchased at www.sdgmc.org or by calling (877) 296-7664.
SDGMC is one of the largest and oldest gay choruses in the world, having entertained audiences for nearly 30 years. Its 150 members embrace a mission of creating a positive musical experience through exciting performances that engage audiences, build community support and provide a dynamic force for social change.
