Since their inception in 2000, they’ve performed with Ann Wilson, Jennifer Holliday, Kelli O’Hara, Kristin Chenoweth, Melissa Manchester, and Tituss Burgess. And Redmond High School students will soon join that prestigious list, as members of their theater group will perform the opening act.
The benefit is a fitting tribute to PFLAG Bellevue/Eastside and reflects its message of love and unity. For two decades this chapter has served residents of East King County communities, providing support, education, and advocacy, and serving as the extended family of the LGBTQ community. As their press release states, the concert will be entertaining, celebratory, and an opportunity to demonstrate strong support for LGBTQ persons, and their families, friends and allies in the community.
