Our Captain Smartypants benefit concert on September 29th was a magical evening! The power of pride was palatable in the theater and reminded us once again that through PFLAG, we create a circle of connection, support, and love with our extended family of LGBTQ people and allies. Big kudos to the Redmond HS theater performers for a memorable opening act, with a heart-stirring rainbow flag finale. As usual, Captain Smartypants put on a fabulous show and brought the house down, leaving us wanting more. We are enormously grateful to Eric Lane Barnes and his stellar ensemble, both for their generosity and for being the best role models and allies we could ask for. (For both new and long-time fans of Captain Smartypants, be sure to follow them Facebook and check out the Seattle Men’s Chorus for more great performances.) Finally, we thank each and everyone of you who attended and/or supported this event. Through your ticket purchases and donations, we raised $3,000 for our scholarship program, which will make a difference for our local LGBTQ students.
