The Cockettes Are Coming! An Extravaganza to Benefit Faerie Camp Destiny promises to be a family reunion of generations of downtown theater people, bringing together many old friends from the 1960’s with today’s theater artists and performers. From the pre-Cockette era there will be performances by Crystal Field, who with George Bartenieff created Theater for the New City, and The Harris Family, multigenerational performers whose son and brother George III became Hibiscus, the founder of the Cockettes and Angels of Light. From the Cockette generation will be downtown performers Agosto Machado, Chris Tanner and Lance Cruce, the comic Reno and Radical Faeries Agnes De Garron and Gabriel Q. Living Theatre members will perform a witches’ cabaret as The Wycherlies and a new generation of performers will include musical wonders Steve Sandberg and Cyrus Baty, video artist Bec Stupak and neo-Voguing dancers The Pixie Harlots. The Cockettes will be introduced by HRH Lee Mentley of San Francisco’s Hula Palace and the young Robert Oppel. The evening will be hosted by London’s fabulous and glamorous La John Joseph and New York’s Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
Sale items from Rosie Delicious The Eggman, Gabriel Q, Luc Sante, Keith Gemerek, Dance Manhattan, Femme Productions and many others.
