Beards On Ice at Laura Sims Skate House

March 23 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Free

Produced by the Bearded Ladies Cabaret | In partnership with the Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Department.

What’s more impossible: solving the climate crisis or teaching drag queens to ice skate? Come watch us do BOTH!

The Bearded Ladies are taking on the climate crisis, one wobbly skate at a time. But saving the planet is hard! Almost as hard as getting drag queens to ice skate! This hour-long icecapade comes in two dazzling variations: fun for the whole family and PG13 (a little more edge). Featuring resources from Philly’s climate justice organizations and a free skate after the show, it’s sure to be a “fracking” good time.

Laura Sims Skate House, 210 Cobbs Creek Pkwy, Philadelphia, PA 19139

March 22-23, 2025

Family-friendly shows at 4:30 PM, PG13 shows at 8 PM

Featuring resources from Philly’s climate justice organizations, free hot chocolate, and an hour-long free skate after the show.
