Broadway Pride | FOUR online classes

Broadway Pride | 4-Week Course

Join the combined faculty of The Broadway Maven for FIVE different classes celebrating the LGBTQ+ community during Pride month. You'll come away with tidbits, tales, and analysis from some of Broadway's famous countercultural musicals. Each faculty member offers something different and it's a great chance to try out the number of classes that The Broadway Maven has to offer!

These classes are offered every Tuesday in June at Noon ET on Zoom, running from June 2 to June 23. Each class is one hour long.

Here's the schedule:

Tuesday, June 2: Falsettos

Co-taught by The Broadway Maven, David Benkof, and senior co-host Max Clark, this class explores William Finn's study in manhood through it's lyrical character development. Also enjoy the dispute between Max and David between thinking the musical is perfect or the exact opposite.

Tuesday, June 9: La Cage aux Folles

Taught by UW Professor David Armstrong, this class dives into the drag musical as well as other musicals exploring homosexuality on stage during the 1970s and 80s.

Tuesday, June 16: The Rocky Horror Show

Taught by David Benkof, this class looks at the recently revived cult-classic and the mind of Richard O'Brien who thought to put the outrageous on stage.

Tuesday, June 23: A Strange Loop

Taught by music educator Mateo Chavez Lewis, this class pulls the semi-autobiographical rock score about a "fat, black, and queer" young man exploring his desires, passions, and what he really wants to do with his life.

Each class is offered ONCE at NOON ET.
