The event, a variation on the museum’s weekly piano night that served as a fundraiser for the White River Junction Pride committee, was held in response to recent legislation introduced in several states targeting drag performances. A Tennessee cabaret law, which bans “male and female impersonators” from performing on public property or anywhere a child might see them, has been temporarily halted by a federal judge.
