As a muse to John Waters and a (glorious) menace to society at large, no one bent social and gender norms quite like the mononymous drag icon Divine, A.K.A. Harris Glenn Milstead. Though her life was cut short at 42 years, Divine packed it full of punches, becoming the larger-than-life star of John Waters’ raunchy, LGBTQI+- classics like Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, and Hairspray. I Am Divine is a love letter to and celebration of an outlandish artist, tracking her humble beginnings in Maryland to worldwide recognition as a cinematic daredevil. Featuring appearances by fellow Baltimoreans and collaborators like Waters, Ricki Lake, Tab Hunter, and Mink Stole, I Am Divine peels back the many costumed layers of a once-in-a-generation performer.


A Divine Double Bill: No one bent social and gender norms quite like drag icon Divine. This Pride month, celebrate the larger-than-life queer icon with a double bill featuring the 50th anniversary of the John Waters classic, Pink Flamingos!
