True Colors Project is proud to present a staged reading of Carolyn M. Brown’s play STORMÉ at Playwrights Horizon Downtown (Robert Moss Theater, 440 Lafayette St., across from the Public Theater) in honor of National LGBTQ+ History Month. STORMÉ is a play with music that depicts the true-life story of legendary Stormé DeLarverie—a big band singer, a male impersonator at the Jewel Box Revue (America’s first racially integrated and gay-owned drag shows), and an icon of the historic Stonewall Rebellion. Stormé is revered for having thrown the first punch—or series of punches at police—during the now infamous raid at the Stonewall Inn in 1969, a watershed moment in the Gay Rights Movement. This special performance will be followed by a spirited talk-back with trans Latinx Drag King, Richard D and Uganda-born, Brooklyn-based Drag King, Uncle Freak.
