About the Artist

The Bearded Ladies Cabaret is a queer arts organization that sits on your lap and sings you a story. Whether it’s an opera, a home-made cabaret, a musical walking tour, or a show on a truck, we employ song, spectacle, storytelling, and heart to welcome audiences into moments of joy, healing, and subversion. Through sharing our original pieces and creating bespoke platforms for performance at home in Philadelphia, nationally, and abroad, we nurture artistic connection for a community of misfits, rabble-rousers, chanteuses and the people who love and need them. Their work has been seen all over Philadelphia including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Eastern State Penitentiary, Opera Philadelphia, the Wilma Theater, FringeArts, and the Delaware River Waterfront and they have brought their cabaret revolution to Miami, Seattle, Paris, Washington DC, New Zealand, Provincetown, Maryland and Delaware. In New York their work has been seen at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater, La MaMa Etc, Works & Process at the Guggenheim and Lincoln Center. Their signature programs The Beardmobile and LATE NIGHT SNACKS together have provided a stage for over 500 queer and nightlife artists. Find the Beards at www.beardedladiescabaret.com or on Facebook/Instagram @beardedladiescabaret

Priority Hoarding Installation Content Transparency
Priority Hoarding includes loud noises, low vision areas, video that could trigger motion sickness sensitivity, and flashing lights. This installation contains themes of loss, grief and death, and mentions of sex and hook ups, workplace injuries, hospital visits and illness, gender dysphoria, and airports.

We understand that (in the real world) airports can be a location & source of stress or anxiety for LGBTQIA+ individuals. In our queer world, The Hairport has been conceived as a reclamation of those experiences, and creates opportunities for affirmation, expansiveness, agency and joy. If you have additional concerns, please contact BeardedLadiesCabaret@gmail.com for more information.
