- Sat, Jun 20
Run Time: 90 min.
Join us for a special screening of Glenn Belverio’s videos from cult-hit Manhattan public access TV series “The Brenda and Glennda Show” and “Glennda and Friends.” The shows took the art of drag out of nightclubs and into the streets, using camp humor to address issues around LGBTQ+ activism, the AIDS crisis, procreation rights and feminism. The four videos we will screen feature a crew of drag queens staging guerrilla talk shows on the top of the Empire State Building and at Donald Trump’s Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City, “drag queen for Jesus” and a special episode co-starring performance artist Vaginal Davis.
The event will include a post-screening talkback with director Belverio, moderated by actor Lecy
Goranson.
