Nick Staples, “Pride on the Shore” producer and founder of Imagination Entertainment said, “To say I’m excited to bring these talented artists to the stage is an understatement. My goal was to select a diverse group of talented individuals to show that we’re all so much more alike than different, the true essence of Pride. These legendary artists come to the stage with a list of awards from near and far and are all allies and icons of the LGBTQ+ community. We’re kicking off Pride month to remind us of our history, achievements, and progress.”
Pride on the Shore is sponsored by Zenergy Cycling, Sequence, Coldwell Banker, Voltage, Made in PGH, and QBurgh.
“Pride on the Shore” also announced their commitment to upholding equality, equity, and inclusion in Pittsburgh by naming Proud Haven their official charity partner — donating a portion of ticket sales and providing in-kind tickets to ensure LGBTQ+, and underprivileged youth may participate, feel welcomed, and celebrate their pride openly.
