Randy Harrison
“My first pride parade was in Atlanta in 1994 and pride month and the parade has been an important touchstone for me ever since. San Francisco is a city of extreme importance to the LGBTQ community politically, socially, historically and artistically and a town I love deeply. I was overwhelmingly excited just to learn I would even be in San Francisco during Pride, and being asked to be a special guest is an extraordinary honor. I’m am deeply touched and thrilled to be able to celebrate pride with San Francisco and be a part of these festivities.”
Randy Harrison is best known for his role as Justin Taylor in the Showtime series Queer as Folk. He’s starring as the Emcee in the national tour of Cabaret at the Golden Gate Theatre. An accomplished theater actor, Harrison has appeared on Broadway in Wicked, off-Broadway at the Public Theater, as well as regionally at Yale Repertory Theater, the Guthrie Theater and Shakespeare Theatre DC amongst others. He is a founding member of the downtown New York theatre company QWAN Company. On this year’s SF Pride theme For Racial and Economic Justice, Harrison says “It makes me think of so many issues, like the extent to which this country has not yet acknowledged slavery, and the way that reverberates in our culture, both economically and racially. I think about the ability to make it economically in this country and how it seems to be becoming more extreme, that people either have it easy or people have to work so, so hard just to keep a roof over their head.” Visit shnsf.com for more information on Cabaret.
