A night of poetry, music and sound healing is set to bring people together in Adams for Seeing Rainbows’ third annual Transgender Day of Remembrance gathering. The 21 November event at the Adams Theater is open to all ages and identities, with pay-what-you-can admission and proceeds supporting the group’s mutual aid fund.
An evening for remembrance and connection
The programme brings regional performers, poetry and music into the Adams Theater, alongside a somatic sound-healing experience. It’s a thoughtful mix: space to remember, and room to connect with others.
Local poet and spoken-word artist Lucy Wren, musician and songwriter PARRIS, and Pinc Louds are named among the participants. Sacred Light Healing will lead the sound-healing session, while Indigenous Deliciousness will also take part. Pinc Louds’ playful “imaginary band” label reflects the project’s own deliberately surreal artistic identity.
What to know before you go
The gathering is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Saturday, 21 November, at the Adams Theater, 27 Park Street. Seeing Rainbows’ website also lists a third annual Trans Day of Remembrance celebration for that date, within a wider programme of queer-centred community activities.
The event is open to all ages and identities. Organisers encourage attendees to wear masks as an act of community care, a practical reminder that looking after one another can be part of showing up.
Pay what you can, with proceeds supporting mutual aid
Admission is pay what you can, with a suggested ticket price of $35, and the organisers say nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. Tickets are available through the online page linked by the Berkshire Eagle.
Proceeds will support Seeing Rainbows’ mutual aid fund. The Berkshire Eagle reports that the fund distributed more than $15,000 to community members in 2026; Seeing Rainbows’ own fund page explains that people can seek assistance as well as contribute.
A community event with wider support
The Berkshire Eagle reports that the gathering is supported in part by a Creative Experiences grant from Mass Cultural Council and by TransHealth. Mass Cultural Council describes its grant programme as supporting public cultural activities in Massachusetts, while TransHealth says it provides healthcare and community support for transgender and gender-diverse people.
Those details give the evening a wider context: this is not only a performance programme, but a community gathering linked to creative work and practical support. For anyone planning to attend, checking the event’s ticket page for updates is a sensible final step.
A little music, poetry and shared care can make remembrance feel less solitary.
