The Gift Project

Multi-Hyphenate, First Generation, Queer Korean-American Unboxable Artist Diana Oh (they/them) ({my lingerie play}, Infinite Love Party, My H8 Letter to the Gr8 American Theatre) and their live band present original music written for and inspired by Elders of Marginalized Experience or Identity.

Over the past several months, Diana has met with Elders born in 1956 or earlier who overcame incredible obstacles and lived remarkable lives. After each filmed interview, Diana retreated and wrote a song for each Elder, later returning to present them with their finished compositions. This concert combines those songs and the Elders’ astonishing stories into one uplifting evening that celebrates the lives of these extraordinary individuals.

Presented by All For One Theater.
