Synopsis
Jonathan and Andre are best friends who have loved 'Waiting to Exhale' since they were kids. Now as black gay men, their appreciation for Terry McMillan’s classic deepens as their adult lives seem to mirror the situations of the women in the film they love so much. Just like Robin, Gloria, Bernadine, and Savannah, will they both learn to let go of everything holding them back or will they continue waiting to exhale?

Gospel Choir WORKSHOP Series & Concert! All ages, backgrounds, faiths are invited to share in a musical experience of Joy and Community.
Ever wanted to sing in a gospel choir?
Do you start singing every time you hear "O Happy Day"?
Did the movie "Sister Act" or "The Preacher's Wife" make you fall in love with gospel music all over again?
This summer, renowned gospel musician and Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir Founding Artistic Director Terrance Kelly is bringing the magic back to Santa Clarita, and you're invited to be part of the music.
After a fantastic event last October that brought together old friends, new friends, and people who had never tried gospel singing before, we're back for a three-part workshop and concert series. St. Stephen's Episcopal has once again opened their doors, with Music Minister Josh Wenz co-hosting this joyful community experience.
No auditions and no experience necessary. Songs are taught by ear in the Black gospel tradition. You just need to show up ready to sing!
EVERYONE WELCOME! People of all ages, backgrounds, and faiths are invited to share in a musical experience of joy and community.
Workshop #1 - July 11
Workshop # 2 - Aug 8
Workshop # 3 & Concert - Aug 22
Sign up for the Workshop today! And, please invite your friends and family to come to the show!
On Saturday Aug 22, the Workshop Choir will gather at 3pm for Sound Check and a run through of the show before the concert. Doors will be at 6pm and the concert 7pm.
Workshop Choir participants need to attend at least TWO of the three rehearsals (July 11, Aug 8, Aug 22 sound check) in order to perform at the concert. This eventbrite listing makes it look like you "select" a workshop date but your registration is for the ENTIRE SERIES and you are welcome at all and expected to participate in AT LEAST TWO rehearsals before performing in the concert.
