New York City's Big Thunder Productions' #YesAllWomen Raise Your Voice will be presented at The Costume Shop at American Conservatory Theatre, on Friday, November 9 at 7P.M., in a joint venture with San Francisco Conservatory of Music alums and ACT MFA students. Emcee Dana Aber will join opera starlets Kelly Britt and Sara Duchovnay, with special guest Breanna Sinclaire, to feature a stellar lineup of performers. From the hotbed of American theatre in New York City, Big Thunder Productions has cultivated the #YesAllWomen Raise Your Voice concert project hoping to connect performing arts communities around the country and give their voice to this immediate social issue of gender inequality. The concert of original songs will address the many complicated sides of the gender equality movement through the work of contemporary NYC composers and songs written specifically for the show.

Contributing musically to this new concert project are a vibrant group of hot composers, including Anna Jacobs, Rachel Peters, Katie Thompson, James Ballard, Joshua H. Cohen and Marisa Michelson, Nora Terzo, David Wolfson, Christina Capatides, and Daniel Maté, EllaRose Chary & Erato Kremmyda, Christie Baugher, Jason Purdy, Katherine Fredricks & Julia Meinwald, and Andrew David Sotomayor, with music direction by Julianne B. Merrill.

The #YesAllWomen Raise Your Voice concert will also be presented in New York City, the nation's heart for social reform, at The Tank @ 46, with special guests Jenna Leigh Green, Tim Realbuto, and Kimberly Faye Greenberg. Big Thunder's #YesAllWomen Raise Your Voice concert is aiming to travel with its creator and director, Dana Aber, into multiple cities, and be performed by local talent in every venue, creating a unified theatrical experience in tandem with the #YesAllWomen message, linking artist to artist through common experiences and collective songs, creating solidarity and connecting people through a unified voice. More info on the New York City concert available online.

Big Thunder Productions is a production company committed to the creation and proliferation of new works, and has created 5 concerts of original musical theatre songs designed to share the music of over 50 composers during its first year. Big Thunder believes theatre is an American experience, and is happy that this next collaborative project addresses a very American issue.

The Costume Shop at ACT is located at 30 Grant Avenue, 7th Floor. The concert begins at 7 PM, doors open at 6:30 PM. $15 tickets are available online, with limited door tickets available, reservations recommended. Ticket information available through www.BigThunderNYC.com. Proceeds from the concert will help fund Big Thunder's next presentations of the #YesAllWomen RaiseYourVoice concert around the country.
