Welcome
The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered (GLBT) Arts Consortium...
is a voluntary collaboration of varied arts organizations from the Washington, DC metro area. The organizations run the gamut from choruses and bands, to painters, actors, dancers, and filmmakers. The Consortium's members are as diverse as our community.
The Consortium's purpose is simple: raise the visibility of the GLBT community's arts. In the past, our art was a refuge, one that ultimately helped create visibility and awareness. Today, our art continues to build bridges between communities sometimes divided because of human difference.
The Consortium hopes to strengthen that bridge, by uniting our diverse arts organizations to raise greater visibility within our own community and beyond.
Chawbaret 4:
Cabaret Connections
The Capitol Hill Arts Workshop (CHAW) and the GLBT Arts Consortium are presenting CHAWbaret 4: Cabaret Connections an evening of pop songs, standards, and show tunes about family, friends, and the ties that bind us.
CHAWbaret will feature five D.C. Cabaret Network members, including: Emily Everson, Matt Howe, David McMullin, Dean Reichard, and Catherine Satterlee.
Musical direction is by Alex Tang, who has played for national tours of Mamma Mia! and Lion King. Tang was pianist-conductor for the Helen Hayes Award-winning production of Urinetown (Signature Theatre) and he regularly plays open mics and singers' showcases for the D.C. Cabaret Network.
Cabaret Connections will be performed at 8:00 PM on:
- Friday, October 24
- Friday, November 7
- Saturday, November 8
Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door
(Advance purchase is strongly encouraged for this popular program).
Refreshments will be available before the show to facilitate mixing-and-mingling. Proceeds from the performances benefit CHAW’s and the GLBT Arts Consortium’s missions of building community through the arts.
The Capitol Hill Arts Workshop is a non-profit, multidisciplinary arts education facility, located on the corner of 7th and G Streets, SE (just two blocks south of Eastern Market).
