Interview with Tangarra; 10-26-1991

Tangarra

This interview was conducted on October 26, 1991 with Tangarra (John Minzer) as part of an lgbtq oral history project. Tangarra was the last and possibly one of the best vestiges of the time when drag performers were a beloved part of any vaudeville or night club experience. Tangarra described the era before cassettes and compact disc, "In my day, of course you had to sing. You had to dance and you had to be able to do jokes and patter with the comedians." Tangarra passed away on April 17, 2007.
