Forever's Gonna Start Tonight
Thursday, October 8 at 7:30pm
The fifth season of Frameline at the Center continues with a sold-out audience favorite from Frameline33 Forever's Gonna Start Tonight.
Chronicling the remarkable experiences of Vicki Marlane, a drag
performer still strutting it onstage in her seventies, Vicki takes us
on the ride of her life — from rollerskating crossdressed in her youth,
to hoochie-coochie girl carnival sideshows and romantic road trips. We
hitchhike through the adventures that led to her being San Francisco’s
“Toast of the Town” in the early ’70s, and Vicki even shares her tips
of the trade acquired from decades of drag experience at hot-spot
venues including Aunt Charlie’s in the Tenderloin District. Directed by
Michelle Lawler, and produced by archivist and historian Kim Klausner (It’s Elementary:Talking About Gay Issues In School, Frameline20) and Emmy Award-winning Susan Stryker (Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton’s Cafeteria, Frameline30) this film is a loving tribute to a living legend.
Q&A to follow with Vicki Marlane and Michelle Lawler!
Co-presented by the Tom Waddell Health Center, TG Clinic, the Transgender Economic Empowerment Initiative, and the Trans Community Collective.
