A Pride Show a tribute to beloved American icon Dolly Parton with performances on June 6th at the Green Music Center & June 13th at San Francisco’s Curran Theatre.

Audiences can expect soaring choral arrangements of her greatest hits including “9 to 5,” “Here You Come Again,” “I Will Always Love You,” “Why’d You Come in Here Looking Like That” & “Jolene” among others. Jake Stensberg SFGMC Artistic Director stated, “For the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus, these songs connect to our lives & our community. They reflect the courage it takes to keep showing up for one another & the joy that comes from doing that together. At the center of it all is something Dolly models so effortlessly: a kind of radical compassion that leads with warmth, humor & a deep belief in people. Whether you’re here for the songs you know by heart or you’re discovering something new, we invite you to settle in, have fun & let the light of this music shine over you.” Structured in 2 acts with an intermission the program journeys from joy & self-expression into reflection, solidarity & collective power. The icon & legend Dolly Parton is SFGMC muse this year with rhinestones, wigs & heart. Parton has taught us all to be ourselves unapologetically as she inspires a new generation of misfits & dreamers with her iconic looks only to be outshined by her message of radical compassion so come dressed ready to shine.
