If you are interested in joining CGMC for these 3 shows, sign up for an audition with our Membership coordinator. |
At three shows a season plus special events and tours, that adds up to a lot of eyeliner. And show tunes. And, regrettably, legwarmers.
But, we've grown tremendously since our infancy, and now we're bringing you powerhouse concerts to celebrate all we've accomplished -- and all we have to look forward to.
Help us celebrate every sold-out concert, mayoral event and Cubs game we've all enjoyed together.

APPLE PIE (as in ..."as American as"...)
April 4, 2008 at 8:00 PM and April 5, 2008 at 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM
o What's more American than apple pie? And what's more Gay-American than low-carb apple pie featuring plump, juicy fruit in an exquisitely flaky crust? 2008 is an election year, and CGMC is rolling out the bunting and firing up the sparklers in a tribute to everything that makes America great. We'll bring you patriotic songs, flaming baton twirlers and notable moments in American history from our own unique perspective. Look for appearances by Betsy Ross, the suffragettes, great American inventors and the wholesome mothers who keep America's stomachs filled with a steady diet of delicious apple pie.
