About STORMÉ

A play with music based on a true story and real events, STORMÉ recounts the life and times of Stormé DeLarverie, a Big Band singer (aka Stormy Dale) during the 1940s and a male impersonator at the infamous Jewel Box Revue during the 1950s and 1960s. The Jewel Box Revue was America's first and most famous racially integrated touring drag show of female impersonators and one sole male impersonator--Stormé . More importantly, she is an unsung sheroe of the 1969 STONEWALL Rebellion in New York City. Much like Rosa Parks’ refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955 played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement, Stormy's scuffle with police in 1969 during a raid at the STONEWALL Inn was as instrumental in igniting the Gay Rights Movement. STORMÉ the musical play is the first of a series of social justice plays exploring the experiences of marginalized individuals as well as the intersection of marginalized communities,and social movements that arose in the fight against oppression.
