The Cockettes were an avant garde psychedelic hippie theater group founded by Hibiscus (George Edgerly Harris III) in 1969. Their brand of theater was influenced by The Living Theater, John Vaccaro's Play House of the Ridiculous, the films of Jack Smith and the LSD ethos of Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters. The troupe performed all original material, staging musicals with original songs inspired by classic Hollywood movie musicals.
They gained an underground cult following that led to mainstream exposure with John Waters and DIVINE that continues today.
The Cockettes were the subject of an eponymous 2002 documentary film directed by David Weissman and Bill Weber.
