The Glennda & Brenda Show -  Drag Activist Films From The '90s + Live Drag Show
Advertisement
The Brenda and Glennda Show and Glennda and Friends were groundbreaking Manhattan Public Access shows that aired in the 1990s, which took drag out of the nightclubs and into the streets, using activism and humor to address political and social issues. It represents a time and place within the city that has long since disappeared.
For an afternoon, we will resurrect a part of that scene right here in Coney Island with a screening of two of Glennda's classic shows, followed by a Q&A with director Glenn Belverio and moderated by author and journalist John Colapinto, then drag performances by Nancy Nogood, Reina Nobuena and Oliver Herface!
3pm Reception in the Freak Bar (cash bar)
4pm Screening of two Glennda Orgasm videos, followed by live drag show featuring Nancy Nogood, Reina Nobuena and Oliver Herface!
18+ to enter, 21+ to drink
