Come and sing the bearded electric!
Cake, coffin, gavel, choir, composers, live musical trolling!
On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the much lauded homo poet Walt Whitman’s birth, a group of Philly queers and misfits known as The Bearded Ladies Cabaret gathers overlooking the Whitman Bridge to put this ancestor and his legacy on trial. Come with friends, complaints, heroes and villains alike. All are welcome.
Tickets can be reserved in advance beginning soon! Please check back for the reservation link.
This performance is organized in conjunction with the University of Pennsylvania Libraries with major support from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.
