More about SFGMC

Welcome from SFGMC

Dear SFGMC Family:

Welcome to Broadway, Our Way, at the beautiful Curran Theatre! We are thrilled to bring our voices to the original home of Wicked, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, and the longest-running domestic run of Phantom of the Opera outside New York City. History is made through spectacular performances in this space, and today is no different.

As we reach the midpoint of our 47th Season, we have so much to celebrate: incredible holiday shows all around the Bay Area this past December, thrilling programming at the Chan National Queer Arts Center, and a supportive Chorus community filling the house for two performances today! This weekend is extra special - we have over 50 SFGMC alumni from around the world visiting us for a unique opportunity to connect.

We also have serious work ahead of us. Navigating an organizational landscape where we’re coaxed to believe DEI is a threat and LGBTQ+ people are dangerous has significantly impacted the financial support we’ve seen from our long-term partners in government, institutional, and corporate funding. We’ve passed on major national visibility campaigns in a commitment to the safety and security of our membership. However, we know that with the support and strength of our community, we will emerge more determined and resilient than we could have imagined.

Tonight’s concert is intended to address the moment we’re facing, recall moments we’ve faced before, and fuel us with joy to weather the storm ahead. At a time when music supporting our LGBTQ+ communities is being pulled off of national stages, our presence - your presence - here today is an act of protest and resistance. Our voices, like hope, will never be silent.
