Proud at Mary's: A June Cabaret
June is Pride month, and The Brown Paper Box Co. is ready to celebrate! PROUD AT MARY'S emphasizes taking pride in our identities and sharing our personal stories during such a monumental month in Illinois—June 1st being the first day every county in the state will recognize same-sex marriages. PROUD AT MARY'S is a mix of pop songs, show tunes, personal monologues, and stories about being gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, questioning, and straight.
"After the successes of our first two cabarets in Wicker Park, we wanted to bring a brand new show to Andersonville," says Brown Paper Box Co. executive director and show coordinator M. William Panek. "Musical Director Justin Harner and I are working with amazingly gracious past Brown Paper Box Co. participants to form a touching and fun evening of personal insight and killer musical numbers."

The cast includes Jeanne T. Arrigo, Johnny Kyle Cook, Megan Ensley, Justin Harner*, David Lipschutz*, M. William Panek*, Stephanie Rohr*, Anna Schutz*, Nick Shoda*, and Daniel Spagnuolo*
