In partnership with FringeArts, Opera Philadelphia and the Office of LGBT Affairs
The Bearded Ladies Cabaret returns for our third annual LATE NIGHT SNACKS, the unapologetically queer performance art pop up that makes everyone a little bit gay. Featuring a wardrobe’s worth of artists from opera singers to drag queens, cabaret stars to art clowns, and everything in between, LATE NIGHT SNACKS is here to convert you. Whether you come once, come every night, or just stop by on your way to the corner store, you’ll leave with a mouthful of rainbows and glitter on your lips. Part subversion therapy, part luxury walk-in, LATE NIGHT SNACKS invites you to join us in The Closet, our custom-built cabaret, for seven minutes in queer heaven.
Late Night Snacks co-director Jackie Soro teams up with composer/performer Pax Ressler to present excerpts from (the completely legal and copyright-violation-free) American Girl Doll THE MUSICAL!™ What is American? What is a girl? And most importantly, WHAT IS A DOLL? They’re que(e)rying it all, and exploding the nostalgia & hidden histories of our plushy-bodied playthings. Drag King Lucky Luciano will either serenade legendary (NY Mets) catcher Mike Piazza or recruit men for his competitive greased pole climbing team. Come to Late Night Snacks to find out which!
Hosted by Eric Jaffe
