Speakeasy Choir at the United

Speakeasy Choir at the United brings a one-night, interactive music experience to United Theatre on May 9 at 7:00 PM. The event invites attendees to step out of the audience and into the performance, creating a group singing experience that blends learning, collaboration, and live music into a single evening. It’s structured to be fast-paced and accessible, making it easy to jump in regardless of experience level.

Participants will join a pop-up chorus for the night, learning harmonies and vocals together before taking the stage after roughly 90 minutes. This session features “You’re the One That I Want” from Grease, giving the experience a familiar, high-energy foundation. The format focuses on participation and shared energy, turning a room of individuals into a cohesive group performance by the end of the night.

The event is presented by the Chorus of Westerly and United Theatre, with live support from the UNITED House Band, a 5-piece group made up of instructors and local musicians. The combination of guided rehearsal and full-band backing creates a complete performance experience in a single night. Speakeasy Choir offers a straightforward way to go from spectator to performer in a supportive, community-driven setting.
