Come sing One Great Song, Just for One Night. No singing experience necessary. Each night will be a unique and memorable cultural interaction experience. Registration is suggested but not required. Walk-ins are welcome. Doors open at 6:30.“Karma Chameleon" by Culture ClubThis 80s classic is all about being true to yourself. Boy George sings about the fear of being excluded and the danger of trying to please everyone instead of standing up for who you are. With its catchy chorus and colorful vibe, "Karma Chameleon" inspires us to live authentically and connect with others through honesty and self-expression. It’s fun, upbeat, and perfect for bringing people together to sing their hearts out.
