Cultural Arts: Stages

Conversations with Coco

Between 2005 and 2016, the legendary, award-winning drag performer Miss Coco Peru conducted a series of live celebrity interviews on the stage of the Renberg Theatre. These evenings, called Conversations with Coco, were intimate and hilarious tête-à-têtes in their own right, as well as in-depth, multi-media retrospectives of dazzling careers. Each Conversation also raised substantial funds for the Center. We offer our profound gratitude to Clinton Leupp (Miss Coco Peru) and the brilliant artists who came to our theatre to be her—and our—very special guests.
