Description

We're finally going to get to tell the hidden history of queer ancestor, Sylvester in the Haight! This Fall, Eye Zen will be performing the most ambitious and important project in our almost two-decade history, about Sylvester, a gay, Black, gender-fluid San Franciscan singer who gained international celebrity status for his gold records that soared to the top of the Billboard charts. Out of Site: Sylvester, The Mighty Real will take place on a less than 1 mile path in the historic Haight district. Experience this performance-driven tour written by the beloved writer and public theologian Marvin K. White, directed by Michael French, and featuring performances by local drag and theater icons Nic Sommerfeld and Cemora Valentino Devine. The commission and production of this premiere is made possible in part by the Gerbode Foundation Special Award in the Arts program, The Kenneth Rainin Foundation, Jonathan Logan Family Foundation and the The MAP Fund.
