2 Million Artifacts of Pop and Music Culture

The Pride Month  installation at The Cabot Theatre continues the sustaining creative relationship between the Beverly, MA venue and the David Bieber Archives.

Artifacts for this total theatre exhibit are selections from the Archives' two million items collection.

This spectrum of high and low culture celebrates Pride Month from historic, whimsical, dramatic and creative endeavors.

Included in this immersive experience is ephemera  ranging from Greta Garbo on the cover of a 1933 Motion Picture magazine to a vintage Stonewall flyer.  Posters showcase Keith Haring's art, Bad Dream, the first Trans superhero to appear on TV and The Rocky Horror Show "alive" tour.

Also on display are original photos by Philin Phlash and Elsa Dorfman, a first edition of Randy Shilts' groundbreaking AIDS epidemic book, And The Band Played On, as well as an autographed Little Richard LP and a Lady Gaga "Born This Way" audio "singing" toothbrush.

It's the evolution of a movement, with selections from the worlds of pop culture, punk music, publications, politics and protests, all from the David Bieber Archives. Ani DiFranco to Elton John to Brandi Carlisle to Lou Reed, Queen to Barbara Streisand to Ru Paul: It's all at the Cabot Theatre during Pride Month!
