Today on the podcast:
Artistic director, John Jarboe (she/her) stops by to talk about the Bearded Ladies Cabaret production of “BEARDS ON ICE”. This event laces up for a fracking good time. Here is my interview with John Jarboe for BEARDS ON ICE!
In this engaging conversation, Darnelle Radford speaks with John Jarboe, the artistic director of Bearded Ladies Cabaret, about their innovative show 'Beards on Ice.' 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.
