Saturday, November 18 – 7:30pm
Beverly O’Neill Theater
300 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90802
There will be a pre-concert discussion at 6:00pm.
Imagine the Matthew Shepard story told through more than just human eyes with the masterful poetry of Lesléa Newman’s book October Mourning, brought to life by a stunning score from local Long Beach composer Curtis Heard.
Join the South Coast Chorale, in collaboration with the First Congregational Church Sanctuary Choir & Handbells, Landmark Theatre Company, Musique Sur La Mer Chamber Orchestra, Long Beach Youth Chorus, and members of the Wilson High School Choir as we share the unheard voices of the fence, the deer, the stars, and more in this musical narrative of a story that, 25 years later, resonates far beyond the LGBTQ+ community.
