What a treat the audience received as we returned for our 5th year @centercitydistrict's Arts on Center Stage at Dilworth Park as we featured a vibrant evening of Opera and Jazz! This was ePOP's third and final show in the @phillyprideaf line-up, and what a festival it was!

A special thanks to our artists:
- Soprano and jazz artist, Nia Drummond @niadrummond
- Tenor, Teddy Balfour-Austin @ted_bal4
- Pianist and collaborator, Aurelien Eulert @orelien67, and
- @operaphila Orchestra oboist, Geoffrey Deemer

We’re so proud to continue sharing this annual tradition with the Philadelphia community.

It’s been a minute since I’ve had to belt like this, but every second was worth it to bring “Memory Song” from A Strange Loop to the stage. This piece carries such a profound weight. The words are not just lyrics; they are a reflection of identity, history, and the power of memory itself.

So grateful to have shared this experience in Philly for @phillyprideaf through @epopphilly. We had the best time. 🏳️‍🌈

Prismatic is taking the words of the Bard to heart with our Pride cabaret-- ShakesQUEER!

Together we'll ask the questions, "Is something rotten in the city of Philadelphia?" "Why does the drag queen protest too much?" "What's in a drag name?" "In the course of douching, when will the water run clear?"

Our star-studded singing cast is led by:

🐋 Philly's legendary Singing Drag Queen, Balena Canto

🪩 Draglesque King and Best of Philly winner, Violet Caballero

🎤 the Sharpest Wit this side of the Schuylkill, Kevin Patrick
