‘It's So Fun and Freeing to Take Up This Much Space': Louisa Jacobson on Her Breakout Year
The day that Louisa Jacobson and I are scheduled to chat over Zoom is a big one, for both New York and Jacobson herself. We're meeting on the second day of a record-breaking heatwave, the culminating week of Pride Month, and, as it happens, the one-year anniversary of Jacobson publicly coming out. The third season of HBO's The Gilded Age, in which Jacobson plays Marian Brook, a doe-eyed newcomer to late-1800s Manhattan high society, premiered a few days prior. And the night before, Zohran Mamdani clinched a historic victory over former governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's mayoral primary. 'I ranked Zohran as number one,' says Jacobson. 'So, yay…I'm really excited. It's a very cool breakthrough moment in New York politics.' Mamdani's win also coincided with the American premiere of Trophy Boys—a play written by Emmanuelle Mattana and directed by Danya Taymor—off-Broadway, at MCC Theatre. In it, Jacobson and the rest of the AFAB cast don drag to play an all-boys senior debate team as they prepare to face their sister school in the final battle of their high school careers. The task? Arguing the affirmative for the prompt that 'feminism has failed women.' 'The opportunity during Pride Month to be doing drag and doing a show like this is so cool,' says Jacobson. 'And to investigate gender as performance and dive-deep into exploring the more masculine parts of myself, as well.' She also notes that this kind of drag is the reverse of what is usually represented in popular culture. 'We don't see it as often as we see queens, you know? I think it's less digestible. I think people don't always understand how to receive it…So I think we were batting up a little bit with that, but it's been really fun.' Even as it navigates themes of privilege, toxic masculinity, and the nuances of sexual assault allegations, the play still manages to feel boisterous and campy. It even has one horny dance break, in which all the boys gyrate to Pretty Ricky's 2005 hit 'Grind With Me'—making literal the already effectively masturbatory nature of their debate. As the quartet humps chairs, doms desks, and spanks the air, it's clear their intellectualizing is merely a coping mechanism for that specific, liminal teen space of extreme lust exacerbated by a maddening lack of experience.

At Ladyland, Everyone Wanted to ‘Protect the Dolls'
The L train had an even more carnival-esque energy than usual this weekend, as skimpily dressed revelers boarded it after streaming out of Ladyland, a two-day music festival held underneath the Kosciuszko Bridge for Pride Month. Colorful characters packed the cars trading joyful gossip, some returning home giddy from hours of dancing and others heading with friends to their next techno conquest. Ladyland, according to its founder, Rayne Baron — the 48-year-old high-priestess of nightlife known professionally as Ladyfag — is like the 'pre-party to your rave.' Founded in 2018, the annual event was conceived as a subway-accessible music festival for queer people. Though it has taken place at several venues, for the past few years it has happened at Under the K Bridge Park, which, as its name suggests, is underneath the bridge connecting Queens and Brooklyn. But it was never a rainbow-themed Pride event. Ladyland offers something 'just a little more alt,' Ladyfag said in her British-tinged-with-New-York accent. The first festival took place at the mega-club Brooklyn Mirage, featuring the rapper Eve as its headliner, alongside then-lesser-known acts such as 070 Shake and King Princess. Throughout its seven-year run, Ladyland has continued to book big name artists and emerging acts alike. Superstars such as Christina Aguilera, who performed in 2021, and Madonna, who surprised fans with a vogueing contest last year, have been joined by local legends and underground favorites. This year's headliners were FKA Twigs and Cardi B, who in 2017 performed at Ladyfag's Holy Mountain party — right before the release of the rapper's first hit, 'Bodak Yellow' — for a fee of $4,000. Now Cardi B is a superstar and plays Ladyland as an acknowledgment of Ladyfag's early support. Other acts on this year's lineup included drag performances and DJ sets to neoperreo, a type of reggaeton, J-pop, rap and electro music. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
