OPENING NIGHT: Bring your platform shoes and favorite 70’s outfit because this year’s festival kicks-off with an electric, disco-themed gala on Friday, March 10, 2017 from 7 to 10pm at the New England Youth Theatre. The gala will begin with a reception of champagne, wine & hors d’oeuvres, followed by a screening of the film – Jewel’s Catch One. The film tells the story of Jewel Thais-Williams and her club, “The Catch”, the oldest black owned disco in America and one of the original safe spaces for both the LGBT and Black communities . The film celebrates four decades of music, fashion, celebrity, and activism that helped change the course of our country by breaking down racial, social, and cultural barriers.

Tickets for the gala are $30 and are being sold now – to purchase;
