UPSTAIRS, the Musical in L.A. - One Night Only
UPSTAIRS is a new dramatic musical about the deadliest crime against gays in U.S. History, the 1973 Arson fire at the Up Stairs Lounge in New Orleans, Louisiana, a tragedy that has languished in obscurity, its victims seldom remembered, its perpetrator unknown.
Fresh from its sold-out, critically acclaimed World Premiere run in New Orleans, UPSTAIRS will have a one-night performance in Hollywood THIS SATURDAY at 8pm!
Tickets for this scaled-down, piano only performance are only $15!
