The Grant Center for the American Jewish Experience screened Make Me a King, a short film about Ari, a Jewish Drag King ostracized by their family, who clings to their hero – Pepi Littman, the first Jewish proto-Drag King, who performed in the early 20th century. After the screening, Producer Martina Russo, writer Natalie Toyne, Yiddish culture consultant Dr. Philip Alexander, and actor Ashleigh Loeb were available for Q&A and discussion.
