The piano bar and cabaret world has long been a safe haven for the LGBTQ+ community. This service honors that tradition with an open mic celebration that blends worship and music. Today’s speaker is Rev. Joe “DollFace” Nicholson, a longtime figure in both ministry and the cabaret community. Multiple MAC Award winner and longtime Artistic Director of Ellen’s Stardust Diner, Scott Barbarino, serves as host and lay leader. After the service, the sanctuary transforms into a piano bar with JD Smurthwaite at the piano and an open mic for singers and special guest performers. The annual program pays tribute to cabaret icon Jerry Scott, a longtime CCC member who passed away in 2014.
