Legends of Drag x NYC AIDS Memorial Pride Celebration!

This year, in celebration of NYC Pride Month, the NYC AIDS Memorial is partnering with the creative team behind Legends of Drag (Abrams, 2022) to present a live, on-site revue at the Memorial featuring seven, fabulous drag elders—Caracol de Cuba, Dina Jacobs, Egyptt LaBeija, Kelly Ray, Ruby Rims, and Simone, with Linda Simpson serving as emcee—all of whom paved the way for the drag renaissance of today. Campy, brash, witty, and most of all talented dancers, lip-synch artists, and live singers, these queens are survivors, thrivers, and cultural ambassadors. As both drag performers and trans folks have increasingly become political targets and scapegoats, uplifting these trailblazers and sharing in their wisdom and joy is one of the most potent antidotes available in our arsenal.

The event will take place at the NYC AIDS Memorial monument: 76 Greenwich Ave, New York, NY 10011

Free to attend!
