Bearded Ladies Cabaret is a troupe of artists who insist that art can be both intellectual and accessible, entertaining and meaningful, stupid good and just plain stupid. We are reclaiming live performance as a necessary site of cultural reflection. We fuse cabaret and theater to tackle the politics of gender, identity, and artistic invention with sparkle and wit. Never afraid to be contrary, our work is both ironic and heartfelt. It is always live, always smart, and never quite what you expect.
