“This will be a show unlike any other, telling the story of the Center and the LGBT movement with pride, passion, and humor,” said Center CEO Lorri L. Jean. “Our 50th anniversary is a historic milestone in the movement for equality and justice. Join us for this singular night of storytelling, music, and entertainment that promises to be a joyous and powerful celebration of our past achievements and future vision.”
