REGISTRATION
OPENS FOR 'FAMILY REUNION 2000' - GLSEN DIRECTOR TO SPEAK
AT OU
Registrations are now being taken
for FAMILY REUNION 2000, the second edition of the
statewide GLBT conference organized by the Oklahoma
Lambda Intercollegiate Coalition. Details on the event
are now available at OLIC's new website at olic.atschool.to. The event
is scheduled for Sat, Mar 25 on the University of
Oklahoma campus in Norman. Keynote speaker will be Gina
Reiss, managing director of GenderPAC, the
national organization for gender civil rights, and an
extensive slate of workshops will be offered during the
day. Related events will include a potluck dinner on Fri,
Mar 24 (with entertainment by Peggy Johnson), and a
'Pride Prom' on Saturday evening. Registration is $15.
Though the program is geared toward youth, organizers are
encouraging everyone to attend. For registration info
call 325-4452 or e-mail OKolic@hotmail.com.
Also planned on Thur, Mar 23 is a visit from Kevin
Jennings, the Executive Director of GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian & Straight
Education Network). This event will be free
and open to the public. Teachers and students alike are
invited to stay after the talk to explore the possibility
of starting a GLSEN chapter in Oklahoma.
COMMUNITY RESPONDS
TO PARADE COMMITTEE APPEAL FOR INVOLVEMENT
That invitations to participate in
the decision-making progress involved in organizing the
Pride Parade are being taken seriously this year was
clearly demonstrated at Monday night's committee meeting
at the home of Paul Thompson. Last year, committee co-chairs
Thompson and Chris Estep were often the sole attendees at
Parade meetings. On Monday night, at least 10 people
eagerly engaged in discussions of various organizational
issues, ranging from pricing of parade registrations to
the possibility of expanding the pre-parade activities on
the day of the parade to include an arts festival in
Memorial Park. This year's Pride Parade takes place on
Sun, Jun 25.
Organizers are holding a contest to create a design for
this year's logo. The winner receives $100. Contest
deadline is Mar 25. CLICK HERE
for info. The next Pride Parade
committee meeting is on Mon, Mar 27, at 7PM at Paul
Thompson's, 1133 NW 32nd, and is open to the public.
TURTLE CREEK
CHORALE TO PERFORM IN OKC
The world-renowned Turtle Creek Chorale, under the
artistic direction of Dr. Timothy Seelig, will perform in
Oklahoma City next month to benefit three Oklahoma
Choruses; the OKC Metro-Men's and Women's Choruses and
the Council Oak Men's Chorale of Tulsa. The concert will
feature performances by each of the three beneficiary
choruses, followed by the Turtle Creek Chorale's
presentation of music prepared for the American Choral
Directors Association (ACDA) Convention.
The Dallas based Turtle Creek Chorale is celebrating its
20th Anniversary season this year and boasts a long list
of accomplishments including a 1995 EMMY Award for it's
performance of After Goodbye: An
AIDS Story which aired nationally
on PBS in 1994. The Chorale has produced 20 recordings,
making it the most recorded male chorus in history.
Several of those recordings have gone on to win national
awards, and Requiem
was the first Chorale CD to reach the Billboard Classical
Charts. The Chorale has also won three "Telly"
awards for its video public service announcements. TCC's
performance credits include collaborations with The
Dallas Symphony Orchestra, The Dallas Opera and The
Women's Chorus of Dallas. The Chorale has performed for
the Queen of England and former President and Mrs. George
Bush. The Chorale made its Carnegie Hall debut in 1993.
All proceeds from next month's OKC performance will go to
benefit three Oklahoma choruses. The OKC Metro-Men's
Chorus, under the direction of Don Clothier, celebrated
their 10th Anniversary in December, 1999. Council Oak
Men's Chorale, which hails from Tulsa, was formed in 1997,
under the direction of Rick Fortner. The newly formed OKC
Metro-Women's Chorus, also under the direction of Don
Clothier, is enjoying great success in its debut season.
The OKC performance will take place at 8:00 PM, March 17,
2000 at Village Christian Church, 9401 Ridgeview Dr. In
lieu of ticket sales, a "love offering" will be
accepted at the door. For more information call (405) 751-1156.
