THE PANSY CRAZE blends the dazzle of a cabaret with the intimacy of a piano bar, honoring the queer icons who paved the way. In this encore residency, Mason and illustrious guests invite you to journey through time, sharing the juicy stories your history books left out. Each evening unfolds through songs, sketches and storytelling as they dive into moments in history when queerness was celebrated, commodified and then criminalized.

FROM CODPIECES TO CORSETS: 300 YEARS ON LONDON'S WICKED STAGES
featuring special guest Lea DeLaria
Join us for a scandalous journey through three centuries of London's most daring performers! Mason Alexander Park and special guest Lea DeLaria take us behind the scenes of history's most fabulous rule-breakers—from Ned Kynaston, the boy player whose beauty captivated Restoration London, to Annie Hindle, the Victorian music hall sensation who conquered audiences on both sides of the Atlantic with her masculine swagger. Discover the glittering history of London's theaters proving that gender nonconformity isn't modern - it's eternal, unstoppable, and endlessly fabulous.

PASNIES IN PRIMETIME: JIM BAILEY AND THE TELEVISION REVOLUTION
featuring special guest Jesse Tyler Ferguson
Step into the glittering world of 1970s television with Mason Alexander Park and special guest Jesse Tyler Ferguson as they explore the remarkable story of Jim Bailey, the trailblazing entertainer who brought drag to mainstream America. In living rooms across the country, Bailey captivated audiences with his stunning portrayals of Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and Phyllis Diller, among others, becoming the most celebrated female illusionist of his generation. Together, we celebrate Jim Bailey - a performer whose talent was so undeniable it helped change the conversation about gender expression in entertainment.

Saturday, November 22nd - 8:00pm
GENDER, I HARDLY KNOW'ER: THE LAST 35 YEARS IN AMERICA
featuring special guest Sasha Velour
Join Mason Alexander Park and special guest Sasha Velour for a celebration of three decades that transformed queer America from the '90s to today. From AIDS activism to marriage equality, from "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" to RuPaul conquering reality TV, witness how a community turned struggle into triumph and visibility into power. Together, they'll spill the tea on cultural milestones that moved LGBTQ+ stories from underground clubs to primetime television - the battles won, the icons we lost, the queens and kings who saved us all, and those jaw-dropping moments that changed everything. This is the story of how a generation refused to whisper, cranked up the volume, and rewrote the rules of what it means to live out loud in America.
