GMCW opens Gay Pride Week singing about the wonderful people who love us, support us and stick with us through thick and thin. The first half of the show is a glorious tribute to the joys of friendship. The second half will feature the East Coast premiere of through a glass, darkly, one of the edgiest new theater pieces ever commissioned by a gay chorus. Composed by Michael Shaieb for three actors, dancers and chorus, the piece wrestles with a burgeoning crisis in the GLBT community: methamphetamine addiction. Very simply, it is a story of a young man addicted to crystal meth, and how it changes his life and the lives of the people around him. The music captures the hard-driven sound of the club scene with a combination of electronica and more traditional choral singing. Commissioned and first performed by the Twin Cities Gay Men's Chorus in March, 2008 to sold-out audiences, the piece reinforces the truth that, with friends, we might gain the insight to see life more clearly. It is riveting and uplifting.
