Make Me Gorgeous! The True Story of Kenneth "Mr. Madam" Marlowe

  • Drama

Kenneth Marlowe's extravagantly queer life in the 20th century included stints as a soldier, a missionary, a hustler, a pimp, a drag queen, a Hollywood hairdresser and, in later years, a trans woman named Kate. Darius Rose, the secret identity of Drag Race standout Jackie Cox, now plays Marlowe in a solo show adapted by Donald Horn, a.k.a. Donnie, from his own biography, Mr. Madam: The Life and Times of Kenneth/Kate Marlowe. Horn also directs the production, which debuted in Oregon last year under the aegis of triangle productions!, the Portland LGBTQ theater troupe he founded in 1989.   TIME OUT DISCOUNT TICKET OFFER:MAKE ME GORGEOUS!

Kenneth was private hairdresser to the stars; the madam of a notorious gay prostitution ring in Hollywood; an author; a hustler; a female impersonator; a private in the U.S. Army; a call boy; a Christian missionary, a mortuary cosmetologist; a newspaper columnist…and for the final decade of an incredibly lived life, Marlowe was a woman, having transitioned to become Kate Marlowe.   TO BUY TICKETS: ONLINE: Click He
