Cell Block Tango: Reimagined - Short Film Premiere and Talkback

Doors: 6:30 pm

Discussion and Screening: 7:30 pm

Please join us for the premiere screening of Cell Block Tango Reimagined produced by Everybody on Stage, in collaboration with Musicals Reimagined. The evening will include the screening as well as a talkback with some of the talented performers and creatives who brought this story to life.

STORY: Six talented performers assemble. Through each verse and chorus of the Cell Block Tango, we hear each individual performer’s backstories/the thematic crux: That even though the world seems to be trending in a more inclusive way, there's an undeniable and historically-driven fear that it's just that; a trend.The number is fierce/a call to action that things still have a ways to go; that we need to get to a point where we are all seen as equals, not defined solely by our differences. Each artist is exemplary in their talents, making it undeniable that they would be an asset to any production. 

PLEASE NOTE: This project deals with the topics of racism, fatphobia, abelism, ageism, sexism, gender identity, and homophobia.
