Leonard "Len" Keith and Joseph "Cub" Coates were a queer couple in the rural New Brunswick village of Havelock in the early 20th century. Len & Cub features Len’s photos of their life and tells the story of their relationship against the background of same-sex identity and relationships in rural North America of the early 20th century. While keeping their sexual identities closeted, they captured their decades-long relationship via photographs. This remarkable material is as important socially and historically as their story is one of the oldest photographic records of a same-sex couple in the Maritimes.
We invite you to witness the unique love, friendship and lives of Len & Cub to challenge contemporary ideas of about sex and gender expression in the early 20th century.
Curated by Meredith J. Batt & Dusty Green.
Presented by: MacEwan Centre for Sexual and Gender Diversity, Queer Heritage Initiative of New Brunswick, The Arquives, New Brunswick Provincial Archives, and Beaverbrook Art Gallery.

Queer Street Art movement class will be a movement and educational session focusing on the styles of Drag, Ballroom, and Gogo. In the session we will be discussing these queer street arts as a way queer people have thrived, survived and shined!
Come ready to learn and move.
Over this 1.5 hour course you’ll learn the basics drag king makeup, from the iconic king, Orpheus! (As seen on multiple events around Edmonton) He gives overviews of specialized products, in depth tutorials, and shares all the tricks of the trade to help demystify the artform. After taking the course you’ll feel equipped and empowered to start making creative looks of your own!
Orpheus will show all the products you need to paint a drag face and explain how to best apply them. They will discuss the principles behind contouring for a male illusion and they will share a guide they made of masculine contouring patterns, and explain how different shapes convey different things about your drag persona. Participants will follow a step by step how you paint a natural looking male illusion.

We will supply you with a list of products in advance of the class and they can be purchased at Theatre Garage. If you already have similar supplies you are welcome to bring them as well.
In 'What am I Looking At?!', backstage antics unfold as three drag queens navigate the chaos of a cramped dressing room. Amidst mirror changes and gossip, they hilariously vie for their moment in the spotlight. This uproarious comedy explores the challenges and triumphs of performing in a crack-of-dawn production, offering a fresh and humorous take on the world of drag. Get ready to laugh, gasp, and maybe even shed a tear as these queens prove that the show must go on, no matter the chaos backstage!
