The Bearded Ladies invite you to (temporarily) compartmentalize your baggage and enjoy some duties-free time with us! Join us Saturday nights in the Hairport Lounge at Priority Hoarding for in-flight live entertainment. Featuring a first class lineup of Philadelphia talent, the Now Hoarding series is a connecting flight of performance rituals, cabarets, demonstrations and conversations for a community constantly in transition. So, whether you’re a frequent flyer or with us for the first time, fasten your seatbelts (until we hit cruising altitude), and prepare to be transported!

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
