“Put It in the Scrapbook”—a show based on the life of famed vaudevillian/female impersonator Julian Eltinge—is part of this year’s Chicago Fringe Festival. The production stars George Contini.
According to the festival’s website, the production is “the first re-creation of Eltinge’s stage routines and rare archival footage,” and that “this multimedia performance examines the dark fluidity of Eltinge’s sexual persona and its ability to ultimately offer him salvation.”
The show is running at Dream Theater, 556 W. 18th St., Sept. 6 at 7 p.m.; Sept. 7 at 8:30 p.m.; Sept. 8 at 2:30 p.m.; and Sept. 9 at 4 p.m.
Tickets at the door are $10. See www.ChicagoFringe.org.
