Birthday Presence by Jasmine Rice LaBeija

Wednesday, March 8, 7:30 pm

Tickets $35-$45, Choose What You Pay

The International Godmother of the Royal House of LaBeija—recently shouted out by Beyoncé in "Break My Soul (Queens Remix)"—summons her family uptown for a birthday kiki destined for legendary status. Drag artist Jasmine Rice LaBeija is a Juilliard-trained tenor possessed of a devastating wit, razor-sharp timing, and a commanding voice; all of which will be on full display in her new cabaret extravaganza premiering March 8 at Works & Process at the Guggenheim on the day of her father's birth. Then on May 17, crossing town to Works & Process at Lincoln Center, the downtown darling hosts a homecoming celebration recital on the blessed day of her own birth, christening the newly opened David Geffen Hall's sidewalk studio with unparalleled fabulousness. Your presence is expressly requested.
