The vision of the LGBTQIA+ initiative at the JCC mirrors the mission of the JCC Denver to welcome everyone into our community. Through this initiative, the JCC will create and provide year-round programming to engage this integral segment of our community. Through this programming, we aim to engage different types of people (ex: couples with children, single people, couples without children) that identify with the LGBTQBIA+ community, as well as Allies.
The “Tight Five” Standup Comedy Workshop
This class will lead participants through guided comedy writing lessons and culminate in each wannabe comic performing a “tight five” minute standup set at the Elaine Wolf Theatre!
LGTBQIA+ Shabbat
Friday, January 27, 6:00: Join us in sharing a short Kabbalat Shabbat Service and Shabbat meal in a comfortable, relaxed, and queer-centered space. The meal will be kosher and vegetarian, with vegan options available. Tickets are available on a sliding scale with hardship pricing available.
Purim Drag Queen Bingo
Saturday, March 4: The Third Annual Purim Drag Queen Bingo is back to help you celebrate Purim, JCC Style: get those costumes ready and practice that runway walk! Our fabulous hostess Laura Menorah is again helping us bring the party and plenty of Jewish schticks! Limited tickets will be available.
