BROADWAY GOES BLUE

September 16, 6 pm9 pm.
$28.52
OATH 2024 Fundraiser (Presentation)-min

Join us for an intimate evening of Broadway performances to raise essential funds for pro-LGBTQ+ Democratic candidates in five critical House races across the country—races where your support can help defeat anti-LGBTQ+ candidates and flip the House blue.

Just five states—Missouri, Florida, New Hampshire, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Kansas—are responsible for over 25% of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. Republican lawmakers in these states believe attacking LGBTQ+ people boosts their popularity. Let’s prove them wrong. Oath has identified five key candidates who have the potential to flip anti-LGBTQ+ majorities or break Republican supermajorities. By supporting this event, you’re contributing to a targeted effort to counter far-right extremism and demand accountability.

All ticket proceeds will be evenly distributed to the top five candidates on Oath’s LGBTQ+ Equality Recipients list.

And where better to take a stand against anti-queer extremism than at a queer bar? Join hosts Chris Metzger-Timson and Jackie Cox from RuPaul’s Drag Race at VERS for an unforgettable evening, featuring performances by Broadway stars including:

– Isabelle McCalla (*Water for Elephants*)

– Morgan Wood (*Hamilton*)

– Kyle Taylor Parker (*Kinky Boots*)

– Natalie Joy Johnson (*Lempicka*)

– Kelsee Kimmel (*SIX*)

– John Riddle (*Phantom of the Opera*)

The night also features music by DJ Robert Maril, plus Oath’s own Brian Derrick, and more.

Schedule:

– 6–7 PM: Cocktail Hour

– 7–8 PM: Performances

– 8–9 PM: Mingling and more

About Oath:

Oath is a strategic platform that maximizes the impact of political donations. Every election cycle, Democratic donors risk wasting millions by supporting long-shot candidates, safe seats, or donating too late. Oath uses data-driven insights to guide donors in giving where it counts the most.

About VERS:

VERS redefines the queer bar experience—playful, elevated, inclusive, and just plain fun. Located in Hell’s Kitchen, VERS serves top-notch drinks in a beautifully designed space and hosts events that support equality and social justice. Proudly queer-owned and operated, VERS is also a hub for political activism, regularly hosting fundraisers to support candidates fighting for the LGBTQ+ community.
