Doors open at 6:30PM

Special thanks to our Jersey City Pride month programming sponsor, MMD Shops!

The JCLC will donate 50% of the ticket proceeds to the Venus Pellagatti Xtravaganza House through Garden State Equality.

Venus Xtravaganza emerged as a global trans icon after being featured as a glamorous “ball walker” in the groundbreaking 1991 documentary Paris Is Burning. Venus was murdered before that film’s release, and now, decades later, I’M YOUR VENUS picks up a trail gone cold as her two families—biological and ballroom—come together to honor her legacy, seek answers about her killing, and in the process find unexpected common ground.
