"The Cockettes" (Directed by Bill Weber and David Weissman, 2005, 99 mins)
It all began in Haight-Ashbury at the Kaliflower Commune in 1969 when George Edgerly Harris III, who by then was known as Hibiscus, formed the first incarnation of the Cockettes, a multiracial theater company featuring members of a variety of genders and sexual orientations, all bathing in glamour and LSD. Making their debut at the Palace Theater in North Beach on New Year’s Eve, the Cockettes quickly became counterculture heroes in San Francisco, quite literally, the world would never be the same.
The Documentary follows the groundbreaking psychedelic drag performance troupe from its formation amid San Francisco’s commune scene in 1969 to its infamous off-Broadway debut…
