The Lavender Blues: A Showcase of Queer Music Before World War Ii

Some of our most famous musical artists were not only “in the life” – meaning gay, bisexual or transgender – but they sang about this life too. With songs and stories from Vaudeville, Tin Pan Alley, the Harlem Renaissance and more, performance artist Sarah Kilborne brings to life a little-known, yet revolutionary moment in music history when pioneering artists sang boldly about sexual and gender fluidity – something daring even for today, and as deliciously fun and inspiring as ever. A portion of this evening’s proceeds will benefit the Rockland County Pride Center.
