It took one punch to start a gay revolution. It took a gender-bending
lesbian to throw that punch. This is her story!

Written by Carolyn M. Brown

A play with music based on a true story and real events, STORMÉ recounts the life and times of Stormé DeLarverie, a Big Band singer (aka Stormy Dale) during the ’40s and a male impersonator at America’s first racially integrated drag show, the Jewel Box Revue, throughout the ’50s and ’60s. More importantly, she is an unsung sheroe of the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion.

STORMÉ is inspired by a photo essay Carolyn M. Brown wrote thanking Stormy for throwing the first punch at Stonewall, which accompanied a Stormé DeLarverie mural by artist Rachel Wilkins for her “Shoulders of Giants” exhibit of LGBTQ+ movement trailblazers. Other cast of character include Billy Daye, a singer female impersonator at
the Jewel Box Revue, and Diana, Stormé’s love interest and life partner of 25 years.
