And, of course, the festival would not have been possible without the work of a fine cadre of volunteers.

Many, infinite thanks to...

Leonora Solomon, Missy Stark, Dizzy Swank, Kenya Sweetz, Tom, Topaz and Yeiry.
For coordinating a sure-to-be bang-up kick-off gala, which will be rescheduled to a later date after a weather cancellation, Lola CherryCola and Selina Fire, with burlesque curation by Porno Jim.
Many thanks also to John Mhiripiri, Jed Rapfogel, Kolbe Resnick, Bradley Eros and all of the staff at Anthology Film Archives!

Let's get biblical! Fresh from a smash run at Fringe World in Australia, everyone's favorite gay-married superduo drag darlings return to NYC with a brand new glitter bomb of award-winning dance, irreverent striptease, and surreal campy magic that’s been called "BRILLIANTLY DERANGED" by Time Out NY. Expect to be converted and shouting "YAS GAWD!"
