Pride & Performance: Soul Showcase
May 4, 2024 , 4:00pm – 7:00pm
In partnership with Death of the Party and Brooklyn Community Pride Center
Join us for an open-mic style variety showcase about grief and loss centering voices of the LGBTQ+ community.
Green-Wood is hosting Death of the Party for their first-ever variety showcase, inviting talented individuals to perform their works surrounding themes of loss. Founded by Melanie Wilson, Death of the Party is a growing community for grieving LGBTQ+ folks and allies who have experienced the death of someone close. Their mission is to host community events that facilitate creative ways to express and explore grief.
Price: Free. Registration required.

Hosted by The Green-Wood Cemetery in partnership with Death of the Party and Brooklyn Community Pride Center, share your original, grief inspired poetry, music, comedy, spoken word, or dance with fellow LGBTQ+ artists and allies who understand loss. After the “Soul Showcase,” enjoy mingling at a post-show mixer. It is not required that you perform; for those who want to just sit back and experience others’ art, please grab a ticket and bring your friends.
