Pansies in Primetime: Jim Bailey and the Television Revolution
Step into the glittering world of 1970s television with Mason Alexander Park and special guest Jesse Tyler Ferguson as they explore the remarkable story of Jim Bailey, the trailblazing entertainer who brought drag to mainstream America. In living rooms across the country, Bailey captivated audiences with his stunning portrayals of Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and Phyllis Diller, among others, becoming the most celebrated female illusionist of his generation. Together, we celebrate Jim Bailey - a performer whose talent was so undeniable it helped change the conversation about gender expression in entertainment.

Gender, I Hardly Know’er: The Last 35 Years in America
Join Mason Alexander Park and special guest Sasha Velour for a celebration of three decades that transformed queer America from the '90s to today. From AIDS activism to marriage equality, from "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" to RuPaul conquering reality TV, witness how a community turned struggle into triumph and visibility into power. Together, they'll spill the tea on cultural milestones that moved LGBTQ+ stories from underground clubs to primetime television - the battles won, the icons we lost, the queens and kings who saved us all, and those jaw-dropping moments that changed everything. This is the story of how a generation refused to whisper, cranked up the volume, and rewrote the rules of what it means to live out loud in America.
The Pansy Craze blends the dazzle of a cabaret with the intimacy of a piano bar, honoring the queer icons who paved the way. In this encore residency, Mason and illustrious guests invite you to journey through time, sharing the juicy stories your history books left out. Each evening unfolds through songs, sketches, and storytelling as we dive into moments in history when queerness was celebrated, commodified and then criminalized.
In June, special guests Jackie Cox, Evan Rachel Wood, and Laverne Cox joined Mason Alexander Park on the Minetta Lane Theatre stage for The Pansy Craze’s first three episodes.
