Kirkbride Hall, room 205

From Haven's Facebook page:
For our second event for Trans Week, the Office of Equity and Inclusion has agreed to teach Haven what it's like for trans people to live their day to day lives, having to deal with people and having to cope with problems we would never imagine as being problematic. Learn ways in which the University of Delaware has done well concerning the trans community, and ways in which UD still has a lot of work to do.

"The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert"

Tuesday, March 15 · 7:30pm
Kirkbride hall, room 006


As part of Trans Week, we'll be watching Priscilla, Queen of the Desert! (Free Admission). Watching a movie about drag queens with some awesome people. Need I say more? Hope to see you there!

This inspiring film highlights the prejudices that Trans individuals face, and the inner strength that they possess. Priscilla was a remarkably progressive film premiering in 1994, and stars Guy Pearce, Australia's Tom Cruise.

Soloist Auditions for the Rainbow Chorale's Cabaret

Coming up on January 31 and February 7, the Rainbow Chorale will be hosting open auditions for potential soloists who'd like to perform with them during their Cabaret performance.

AUDITION DATES: Jan 31/Feb 7 6:00 pm Westminster Presbyterian Church, Wilmington.

CABARET PERFORMANCE: Saturday March 12 at the Arden Gild Hall in Arden, DE.

THEME: A Night at the Glammys


But the greatest question going around is "What are the Glammys?!"

The Glammys are simply a celebration of everything amazing. They are a celebration of the beautiful fashions we wear, the delicious foods we eat, and the way you feel for a special event. So now what? Now... Now that we know what the Glammys are its time to pick out a song to represent the high life.

Hey Soloists....
Some songs for thought:
(see if you can notice a pattern)


"A Fine Life" -- Oliver!
"Glamorous" -- Fergie
"How Lovely to be a Woman" -- Bye Bye Birdie
"Steppin' Out with my Baby" -- Tony Bennett
"Put on your Sunday Clothes" -- Hello, Dolly
"Louboutins" -- Jennifer Lopez
"Vogue" -- Madonna
"Too Sexy" -- Right Said Fred
"Glitter and be Gay" -- Candide
"Fabulous" -- High School Musical
"Supermodel" -RuPaul
"Paparazzi" -- Lady Gaga
"Wig in a Box" -- Hedwig and the Angry Inch
"I have Confidence in Me" -The Sound of Music
"Girls just Want to have Fun" -- Cyndi Lauper
"Man, I feel like a Woman" -- Shania Twain


Hopefully some of these songs inspire you to come out and sing for Chorale.
