Suite Queer: A Celebration of Us
Lisa R. & The Lucky Stars
Lisa R. – Guitar & Vocals
Elana Scheiner – Cello
Featured Choreographer and Dancer – Alyah Baker
Suite Queer explores Queer life and history through music and multimedia, dance and performance art. It is an invitation to people inside and outside the Queer Community to meet, hear one person’s experience and understand that what separates us is much less than what unites us.
For those outside the community, the hope is that this deeply personal look into Queer life will give insight and engender empathy and alliances.
For the Queer Community, the hope is that you will see yourself and your experiences or learn about the lives of those who came before you.
Come laugh, cry, hope, dance and experience loving acceptance.
Suite Queer is a celebration of our longevity, resilience and depth, but most of all it announces that we’re here and we’re Queer and we’re dazzling!
