The San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus isn't letting the pandemic spoil their Christmas holiday. The chorus' annual Christmas Eve concert (At) Home for the Holidays will go on this year as a virtual event. This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of this gay Christmas Eve tradition, which usually takes place at the Castro Theater. (At) Home For the Holidays first launched in 1990, when the AIDS pandemic was still raging.
According to Artistic Director Dr. Tim Seelig, the chorus decided to rent the Castro on Christmas Eve to provide a place for those who had no home or family to go to. Much to their surprise, the theater was packed, and so the chorus began adding shows for subsequent years until there were three shows a night. Seelig is hopeful that next year the chorus will be back at the Castro.
