The discussion explores the origins of the show, its focus on climate justice, and the importance of family-friendly programming. John shares insights into the creative process, the role of humor in addressing serious topics, and the significance of community engagement in climate activism. The conversation highlights the joy and absurdity of the performance, emphasizing the need for collective action and the power of art to inspire hope.
What's more impossible: solving the climate crisis or teaching drag queens to ice skate?
Watch us do BOTH in Beards On Ice! This hour-long icecapade comes in two dazzling variations: fun for the whole family and PG13 (a little more edge). Featuring resources from Philly’s climate justice organizations and a free skate after the show, it’s sure to be a “fracking” good time.
Produced by The Bearded Ladies Cabaret | In partnership with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation Department
