Please be as specific as possible; name of event, venue, times etc. Also detail the . ., .... ' , organIzation s partIcIpation In ArtsBeach Second Thursdays. Miami Beach Anchors should list specifics about their mentoring program. The project approved by the Grants Panel was The South Beach Gay Men's Chorus's Christmas Concert "It's a Fabulous Life". The concert was performed on December 14th, December 15th at 8 p.m. at the Colony Theater and on December 16th at 3 p.m. Tickets were $25.00 for the evening performances and $20.00 at the matinee performance on the 16th. The concert was a musical comedy based on the popular holiday film "It's a Wonderful Life" in which a gay man makes the wish that he wasn't gay. He is granted his wish by an angel and is suddenly not gay. Then the fun begins and he gets to see what his life would be like ifhe were not gay. of course in the end he realizes that his life and those around him turns out to be better for his being gay and true to himself. The concert was a tremendous success. Each night was sold out and received standing ovations from the audience. The concert featured acting, dancing and singing showcasing several talents in our local community. Our matinee performance also provided us with the opportunity to give a generous donation to the organization Save Dade. The grant was helpful in allowing us to relocate our rehearsal space to the Miami Beach Community Church on Lincoln Road. This required a large increase in our operating budget due to the cost of the space but was instrumental in allowing us to be a very active part of the Second Thursday program. We scheduled our rehearsals for Thursday night each week from 7:30 to 10:30. From the month of September thru December our rehearsal, which fell on the night of the Second Thursday, was open to the public. Each week we would set up chairs and would get a good crowd that would watch most of the rehearsal. It was very successful. The audiences that came enjoyed themselves very much and it allowed our members to reach out to the public and supporters ofthe cultural arts in Miami Beach.
