HRC Hosts 4th Annual Va-Va-Vaudeville Her Event in Chicago

The Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest advocacy group for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights, will host the 4th annual Va-Va-Vaudeville Her Event on Sunday, February 15 at the Mayne Stage Theater. The event is a variety show featuring performances from burlesque dancers, comedians, musicians and painted ladies. Local comedian, Gwen La Roka, will be hosting the event for the second year in a row.

"This event combines laughter, undeniably sexy performers, and awe inspiring creativity in the way only Chicago Vaudeville can," said HRC Chicago Membership Outreach Chair Ashley Fowler. "Her HRC events across the country showcase the diversity and vibrancy of the women within the LGBT community. We hope attendance at these events inspires action among attendees to become engaged in our shared cause."

The event is part of the national Her HRC Program held in multiple cities across the country. The mission of the event is to gather women to both celebrate and build a greater sense of community while learning about the importance of engaging in the LGBT civil rights movement.

This program expands and diversifies HRC's membership through events hosted across the country towards the beginning of each calendar year. From live performances to comedy to film screenings to everything in between, each market's unique programming is tailored to their community.

The Human Rights Campaign is America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.
