About this Event

Wecole to Transparency: A cabaret fundraiser for the trans community by the trans community. In this difficult time, it’s our goal to bring the transgender community together for an all out celebration. An outpouring of love and honesty. A chance for us to be -- Transparent -- about the trans experience. Please join us for, a slightly early, celebration of the Trans Day of Visibility.

As a fundraiser show, we are excited to support those who are providing the Chicago trans community with much-needed support. All profits from the show will be sent to Trans Chicago - a BIPOC- and Trans-led initiative of the Puerto Rican Cultural Center. Trans Chicago provides community building events and free HIV and STI testing to LGBT+ Chicagoans. At the end of January their funding was cut by the CDC. Please find this incredible organization at https://linktr.ee/transchicago and @transchicago

Please be advised:

The Newport Theater is up a flight of stairs with no elevator, but access to a Genesis portable mobile stairlift (rated up to 400 pounds) is available. Please email [email protected] advance of your arrival to coordinate entry and sign a waiver (required by our landlord).

There are four single-stall non-gendered restrooms available onsite.

All entrants must comply with the Newport Safety Policy
