STRUT: Drag Queen Storytelling at the BSM
Spend your afternoon at the Bata Shoe Museum on the first Friday of Pride Month enjoying a special storytime presentation with Toronto-based Storyteller Jeffrey Canton. For more than three decades, Jeffrey has shared folk and fairytales as well as original stories that dig deep into the strata of Toronto’s history as well as, with a little soft-shoe and a gay show tune or two, his own queer past. Stick around for a guided tour of our exhibitions to learn about footwear through the ages and around the world. At 1:00 pm, the highlight of the day will be a one-hour Drag Queen Storytelling and dance-party spectacular led by Toronto drag royalty Lucinda Miu and Guy Anabella. Expect big energy, fabulous moves, playful stories, and lots of chances to dance along as they celebrate self-expression, imagination, and being proudly yourself.
