John Jarboe (she/her) is a director, singer, writer, and host serving you herstory, queer community making, and a whole lot of glitter. She is the founding and producing artistic director of The Bearded Ladies Cabaret, transforming opera, cabaret, and live performance and creating work that will make you sing, dance, and question. She has written, performed, and directed original work for La Mama ETC, Joe’s Pub, Opera Philadelphia, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Wilma Theater, Lincoln Center, and The Guggenheim’s Works & Process series. John delighted our students in Feb 2024 with "The Poison Cookie Jar", a workshop about the history of the cabaret form.
