Back by popular demand, DGALA has enlisted Matt Yee ’82 for an encore performance on the heels of his recently sold-out, first-ever NYC show. Described by The San Francisco Chronicle as “Elton John meets Margaret Cho”, Matt’s performance incorporates fabulous costumes, humor, and, of course, piano playing and singing to make for a fun-filled evening. Don’t miss the show the Chicago Tribune described as a “flash of Liberace with the warmth of a Hawaiian Luau.” You can find out more about Matt on his website, www.mattyee.com.

All proceeds will benefit the Dartmouth College Fund DGALA Scholars Program, which provides scholarships to LGBT-identified students at Dartmouth.

Werner Tillinger ’86 (a/k/a Mr. San Francisco Leather 1999) learned a great deal about having sex and being a man at Dartmouth.
