For your pleasure, PGMC offers over our outstanding ensemble, Brotherly Love, a bright, bubbly, bawdy band of burly, barrel-chested, bearded balladeers and beautiful, baby-faced, bellowing bards. Come join us for this adult-themed cabaret event and let your hair down….or put your hair up….better to show off those pearls, girls! We’ll have favorites from Monty Python, such as “Every Sperm is Sacred,” as well as from Avenue Q and “The Three Fagrigals,” madrigals with a gay subtext. This concert will be a sexy, salacious show of song, skin and slinky seduction you’re sure to savor. Come on; we know you like to watch.

Tickets are $20 for all seats, both in advance and at the door. They are available in advance online through our Tickets page. There is a $2.50 surcharge per ticket.

The concert will be ASL interpreted for the hearing impaired. Please sit on the left side of the theater. When you go to select your seats, select seats in or near the yellow section on the left side of the screen. Yellow seats are also $20.

“If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies.” -- Author Unknown

PGMC examines changes and development of gay life, and by extension, all life. We present selections from the song cycle, Changing Hearts, about how gay choruses have touched the lives of their members, which includes a humorous, tongue-in-cheek scrutiny of the gay dating scene. Also, we’ll perform “Wheels of a Dream” from Ragtime, among other tunes.

The featured work is the Philadelphia premiere of Metamorphosis, part three of the song cycle preceded by Naked Man and Exile, written by Robert Seeley and Robert Espindola. Using the stages of life as an allegory, this stunning multi-movement piece explores our journey as a gay community over the decades through self-discovery, acceptance, and ultimately triumph. Metamorphosis is an uplifting work with a universal message about the soaring of human spirit which is sure to inspire. PGMC is proud to partner with choreographer Rashaan Jackson and Zane Booker's innovative dance troupe Smoke, Lilies & Jade for this work.

Rear orchestra seats are $20 in advance; center orchestra seats are $30. Tickets are available exclusively at our Tickets page through Ticket Turtle. Tickets are $25 and $30 at the door.
