Philly’s best gender benders take over the Museum. The Bearded Ladies Cabaret take a stab at queering our collection inspired by the one and only Barbra Streisand. Participate in a detour with Kate Nyx, an opinionated showgirl, seamstress, and songwriter whose passion for burlesque fantasy and sex-positive feminism fuels her daily. Red 40 and the Last Groovement kick off the evening and cap off the night with their funkadelic, one of a kind sound.
