From his chair on a countryside ‘Front Porch’ set, David will captivate his guests with a fascinating personal and historical portrait of America throughout several of its most turbulent periods including the anti-war demonstrations of the 60′s, the sexual revolution of the 70′s, the dark days of the AIDS crisis in the 80′s, and the showdown of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in the 90′s. The chapters of Front Porch will be interwoven with special music by Josh Zuckerman and Holly Holcomb to highlight the narrative content. The July 11th performance is a benefit for Dixon Place and the Ali Forney Center.

The Ali Forney Center (AFC) was started in June of 2002 in response to the lack of safe shelter for LGBT youth in New York City. We are committed to providing these young people with safe, dignified, nurturing environments where their needs can be met, and where they can begin to put their lives back together.

AFC is dedicated to promoting awareness of the plight of homeless LGBT youth in the United States with the goal of generating responses on local and national levels from government funders, foundations, and the LGBT community.
