A camp-popera devoted to exploring the domestic and performative atrocities of Mommie Dearest.
Mommie Queerest features John Jarboe (Bastille Day’s Edith Piaf) and Dito Van Reigersberg (Martha Graham Cracker), joined by a choir of Bearded Ladies company members and Philebrities all vying to wear the controversial and coveted shoulder pads and face cream of Crawford.
This performance is began as a fundraiser for the The Bearded Ladies, and features interactive exhibits, slaps for sale, and paid eyebrow critiques. Cocktail orientation and reception precede the performance; a dance party follows.
