Having twice previously shared the stage with Steel City Men’s Chorus in appearances with the Alabama Symphony Orchestra (Birmingham Does Broadway) and at the Birmingham Holocaust Education Center’s Le Chaim celebration, Caleb Clark is excited to make his first formal appearance with Steel City Men’s Chorus and be a part of the Southeaster premier of Unbreakable. Caleb was recently seen as Bruce Bechdel (Fun House) at TNT. Favorite Birmingham credits include Buyer and Cellar; Gaston (Beauty and the Beast) and Chef Louis (The Little Mermaid) at RMTC; Alf (Peter and the Starcatcher) at City Equity theatre.

She’s honored to share this incredible piece with the Steel City Men’s Chorus and her beloved Birmingham. From Amy: “Big love and thank you’s go to those who’ve loved and supported me without question, and to those who paved the way for equality, visibility and love for us all. I’m eternally grateful.”
