Lavender Men
Comedy/Drama, Pride
Runs May 09 – Jun 08, 2024
Taffeta, a fat, multi-racial femme, uses her unique form of queer magic to summons none other than President Abraham Lincoln and his handsome young law clerk Elmer Ellsworth to her stage. Playing every other character in Abe and Elmer’s gay narrative, Taffeta uses this fantasia to confront issues of visibility, race, and LGBTQ+ inclusion. Lavender Men is an embrace to every queer, fat person of color who has been ignored, neglected, or erased for unapologetically being themselves.
