Drag King History presents the history of New York City’s Drag King evolution from the 19th Century to today, showcasing the gender-bending performers who donned men’s attire onstage. Beginning with Charlotte Cushman, a legendary male impersonator in the mid-1800s, the presentation will move through to the 1990s with the East Village’s Club Casanova, the world’s first weekly Drag King party, to today with The Cake Boys, a network of drag kings, trans and non-binary performers, and queer artists. Panelists include performers, historians, authors and academics. Join us for this special LGBTQ History Month panel!
