Raffi is a singer, songwriter, producer, author, lecturer, and tireless advocate for children.

‘It’s great fun singing for children and families,’ says Raffi. ‘As well as singing many of my fans’ favorites, I look forward to sharing a song or two from my Love Bug album and my new one, Owl Singalong—and to the sounds of all of us singing old favourites from my very first album!’

As bluntly sung at the top of show…’Life is what you do while you’re waiting to die.’ Earthy, practical and ultimately true.
ZORBA opened on Broadway in 1968 in a production starring Hershel Bernardi and directed by Harold Prince. It ran for 305 performances and was nominated for 8 Tony© Awards with Boris Aronson winning for his scenic design. It was revived on Broadway in 1983 starring Anthony Quinn.

Hollywood has both portrayed and influenced cultural beliefs since the early days of silent films, and for decades film-makers have perpetuated gay and lesbian stereotypes, pushed the boundaries of social norms, blurred the lines of gender roles, and created ground-breaking queer films. In GMCLA’s summer concert event, The Pink Carpet, we highlight many of the iconic films that have depicted LGBTQ culture. We’ll be joined by Emmy Award-winner actor, comedian, and LGBTQ activist Leslie Jordan for an unforgettable experience. Bring family and friends, and we’ll skip down the Pink Carpet together!
