Mission
Puget Soundworks is an all-gender, LGBTQIA+ centered community chorus serving the Puget Sound region. We are here to make the world a kinder, more inclusive place, one song at a time.
Program accomplishments
- Mainstage Choral Productions: In fiscal year 2024-2025, Puget Soundworks presented 2 mainstage choral productions: Happy Dolly Days and The Beat Goes On. For Happy Dolly Days we performed four live performances, and for The Beat Goes On we performed 3 live performances. Both shows also were offered for online viewing. Combined, the two concerts featured 178 singers, involved over 100 volunteers, and reached 1,257 audience members. We were able to provide no-questions-asked dues waivers to over 30% of our singers and free or reduced community admission to 15% of our live performance audiences. Through song, dance, and dynamic production elements, Happy Dolly Days celebrated the musical legacy of LGBTQIA+ ally and icon Dolly Parton, with a special focus on LGBQTIA+ and BIPOC artists that influenced and were influenced by her career. The Beat Goes On also highlighted music by LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC artists, and explored themes of strength, resilience, legacy, and meaning-making through music. It too included production elements such as a live band, lighting, costumes, poetry, and dance. As a tribute to Dolly Parton's focus on literacy and reading, Puget Soundworks invited four community nonprofit partner organizations for Happy Dolly Days to table and speak at our shows, giving their work more visibility as well. These partnering organizations were Page Ahead, Reading Partners, the Queer Liberation Library, and Reading with Rover. Community nonprofit partners for The Beat Goes On were the Seattle Dyke Alliance, Gen Pride, and Lifelong.Expenses $116,816 · revenue $32,235
