Gay Men’s Chorus Takes On DA, DT
The San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus will be presenting a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" inspired performance on Monday, April 30.
From the Bay Area Reporter:
The show also features the one-act "USS Metaphor," a parody of Gilbert & Sullivan's HMS Pinafore. . . .
Artistic director Kathleen McGuire, and members of the SFGMC production committee, wrote "USS Metaphor," which takes jabs at the U.S. military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. . . .
The chorus will be dressed in Navy whites and will perform dance routines that "surpass anything the chorus has done before. We're extremely proud of this program, from the angles of both technical excellence and social comment," [Teddy] Witherington added.
The show seems timely, given recent comments by Joint Chiefs of Staff General Peter Pace stating that gays are "immoral."
The show takes place Monday, April 30 at 7 p.m. Tickets range from $17-$80, and the chorus has increased the number of lower priced tickets for the show. SFGMC is also offering a 25 percent discount to current and former service men and women. For more information or for tickets, visit http://www.sfgmc.org or call (415) 865-2787.
