The event features two rare screenings of Belverio's 1990s public-access program "The Brenda and Glennda Show," which blended drag, political action and camp humor in downtown NYC.
The screenings include an early 1990 episode, "Takeover of the Empire State Building," featuring a guerrilla-style rooftop talk show staged by drag performers and ACT UP activists, as well as "Target Bush/Wigstock 1991," which documents the march on President George Bush's summer house in Kennebunkport, Maine, and Brenda and Glennda rallying for National Health Care at Wigstock in Union Square.
Belverio will be interviewed onstage by author and New Yorker writer John Colapinto, followed by an audience Q&A and live performances by Brooklyn-based drag artists Nancy Nogood, Reina NoBuena and Oliver Herface.
