In tribute to the LGBTQ community and its allies, Uptown Players and Bruce Wood Dance Dallas are collaborating on a cabaret performance about love and identity dubbed Imagine. It was the idea of a mutual patron, James Lynn Williams.<\/p>\n
The show will feature choreography by dancers Weaver Rhodes, Elliott Trahan and Cole Vernon, who will perform with fellow company members Mia Rosin and Megan Storey. The 18 songs by vocalists Peter DiCesare, Seth Paden, Brett Warner and Kylie Stewart include John Lennon\u2019s \u201cImagine,\u201d Elton John and Bernie Taupin\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Go Breakin\u2019 My Heart\u201d and Johnny Mathis\u2019 \u201cI Look At You.\u201d Imagine will unfold in a series of vignettes on topics ranging from romantic discovery to the strength of chosen family.<\/p>\n
\u201cUptown has awesome singers and we have awesome dancers and the opportunity to work together was very appealing,\u201d says Gayle Halperin, Bruce Wood executive director and producer. \u201dIt\u2019s a fun, uplifting celebration of love for all genders. What\u2019s also so beneficial is that collaboration broadens and deepens your creativity and expands your versatility. It\u2019s such a great opportunity to work with other artists in our city.\u201d<\/p>\n
