In February 1924, male impersonator Pauline Travis took the stage at Halifax’s Strand Theatre as part of “The Broadway Scandals”. Her bold gender bending performance is part of a rarely acknowledged chapter in Nova Scotia’s theatre history.

Digging through Halifax archives this week for treasures! Shocked there’s no full record of NS burlesque history 😫 Just scattered clippings. But don’t worry, this labor of love is coming together….stay tuned!

It’s #TransDayOfVisibility and we’re sending love to all the trans & non-binary folks in our community. Today we spotlight Marinka, a trailblazing trans burlesque performer at Halifax’s Lobster Trap Cabaret. Her story lives on in her book “From Havana to Burlesque” 🏳️‍⚧️💗
