Photos: Bianca Leigh: TRANSVESTIGATION at Pangea By Conor Weiss
Presented by TWEED as part of their Sunday Night Series.
TWEED TheaterWorks has a wonderful, long-standing residency with the downtown cabaret/restaurant Pangea that perfectly allows the two edgy-leaning organizations to present some of the most interesting club acts in the business. Pangea, hailed as the birthplace of alt cabaret, and TWEED, whose mission statement declares a desire to present raw, sophisticated, relevant artists, are perfect partners in the creation and presentation of interesting and entertaining (to say nothing of thought-provoking) cabaret.
Recently TWEED presented the popular artist Bianca Leigh in TRASVESTIGATION, a musical cabaret play described as "a delicious melange of comedy, songs, and character sketches written and performed by Bianca Leigh".
Broadway World Cabaret photographer Conor Weiss paid a visit to Pangea to catch Ms. Leigh in the act and his photo essay can be seen below.
