About the Participants

Jackie Soro (she/they) is a Sagittarius sun, Cancer moon living in Lenapehoking (West Philadelphia). She is deeply rooted in Philadelphia’s arts community and has spent the last several years creating safer spaces and wider stages for queer performers like herself. Jackie loves jokes, singing loudly, laughing, and playing pretend, all of which will combine in IMAGINATION STATION!, a musical, imagination-fueled participatory experience for kids of all ages at The Family Snacks.

The Bearded Ladies Cabaret is a queer arts organization that sits on your lap and sings you a story. Whether it’s an opera, a home-made cabaret, a musical walking tour, or a show on a truck, we employ song, spectacle, storytelling, and heart to welcome audiences into moments of joy, healing, and subversion. Through sharing our original pieces and creating bespoke platforms for performance at home in Philadelphia, nationally, and abroad, we nurture artistic connection for a community of misfits, rabble-rousers, chanteuses and the people who love and need them.
