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
