In a night of original performance, several of today’s most ambitious, creative, and socially conscious entertainers pay homage to the past, present, and future of the LGBTQ movement for civil rights that was spurred by the riots at the Stonewall Inn in 1969. Held in conjunction with the Library’s current exhibition, Love & Resistance: Stonewall 50, this cabaret will bring to life the exhibition’s themes of political activism, love, night life, and the rise of the queer press.

This event is 21+ and ID is required.

$15 standing room tickets grant entry to the event. $40 tickets guarantee a seat at a table. Drinks will be available for purchase from the bar throughout the night.
