The 1960s | LPA Presents: Martin Worman and The Cockettes

Grand Central Library is kicking off its partnership with the Library for the Performing Arts with a presentation on the life and career of Martin Worman. An actor, playwright, lyricist, director, female impersonator, activist, and academic—Martin Worman did it all. This presentation focuses on Woman’s work as a writer and performer with The Cockettes, an improvisational troupe instrumental in the gay liberation movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Incorporating rarely seen footage and exclusive materials from LPA’s collection, this presentation is a must for anyone interested in the performance art of the 1960s underground.

This program is for adults.
