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.

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” 🏳️⚧️💗
