The Martha Graham Cracker Cabaret

May 16, 2025  at 8:00PM

In 2005, Pig Iron Theatre Company co-founder Dito van Reigersberg put on a dress, a wig, false eyelashes, and glittery six-inch platform shoes and took the stage as drag queen Martha Graham Cracker at a small club in Queen Village. Twenty years later, Martha has sold out theaters and music venues all over the country and Europe and has become Philadelphia's most enduring and beloved drag queen.

The Martha Graham Cracker Cabaret is an in-your-face rock and roll drag cabaret. Backed by her four-piece band, Martha Graham Cracker performs freaky mashups and funky rearrangements of songs by artists ranging from Nina Simone to Prince, Led Zeppelin to Lana Del Rey, and Pink to Lady Gaga. At this very special show celebrating her 20th anniversary, Martha will share songs and stories from the last two decades and she'll answer your most burning questions about life, the universe, and everything in between.
