We are an eclectic group of allies, seekers, artists, believers, academics, skeptics, athletes, thinkers, and pop-culture junkies that enjoy being in a non-judgmental and welcoming space where you are welcome and encouraged to be yourself and to have as big a part as you feel comfortable with. #RedDoor is the only faith based fully inclusive and affirming LGBTQIA+ club on the campus of Radford University. You do not have to be in the rainbow community to be a part, or even be a Christian for that matter. We are service oriented and social justice minded. From feeding the hungry and ourselves to community service projects, themed movie nights, games, ice skating, day trips, lazer tag, retreats and studies of spirituality. If you are challenged to want more from your collegiate experience, #RedDoor is the space for you! We are sponsored by Grace Episcopal Church in Radford. Please join us at 903 Tyler Ave, adjacent to Campus. We meet in person and virtually Fall 2022 Semester Tuesdays 6:30 to 8pm, as well as other times and activities.

Mid-Week Music Series featuring Cristina Vane Bonnie Plaza

FREE Live Music on the Bonnie Plaza

Born in Italy to a Sicilian-American father and a Guatemalan mother, Cristina Vane has always had a tenuous relationship with identity and place. She grew up between England, France, and Italy, and was fluent in four languages by the time she moved to her fathers’ native United States for university at 18.  Despite this, (and perhaps because of it) she had no sense of belonging to any one culture or country.  What she did have, however, was an intense love of music.  Powered by her signature take on blues and rock, singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Cristina Vane’s debut album, Nowhere Sounds Lovely, earned her praise from the likes of American Songwriter and Rolling Stone Country, which deemed it ‘mesmerizing stuff’.  The 2021 release was written largely on a road trip across America.  Since then, Vane has laid down roots in Nashville and had the opportunity to spend more time exploring internally.  On her sophomore album “Make Myself Me Again”, Vane has found a way all the way around the country and right back to herself, both musically and personally.  “I’ve been trying to peel back the layers, to understand who I am, and I think that process has translated to this record,” she explains, “The production is straightforward, more minimal, and a bit of a return to my rock roots but still paying homage to the music I’ve explored since then”.
