Scandalous Conduct: A Fairy Extravaganza


  • Great Friends Meeting House 21 Farewell Street Newport, RI, 02840 United States (map)

Hear Crikkett & their oboe on the soundtrack of Scandalous Conduct: A Fairy Extravaganza! This multi-channel documentary musical is the creation of Jason Tranchida and Matthew Lawrence. From their website:

An Episcopal minister. 41 naval recruits. A zealous newspaper editor. A pandemic. A drag show. A beanstalk. The YMCA. A future president of the United States.

At the end of World War I, a Navy-sanctioned raid on homosexual activity in Newport, RI sparked national scandal, when sailors and civilian men alike were targeted in a covert operation against “immoral acts”.

Scandalous Conduct: A Fairy Extravaganza commemorates the Newport Naval Sex Scandal of 1919

Visitors can experience Scandalous Conduct during this premiere exhibition at the Great Friends Meeting House in Newport, RI. Visit the website for special events, hours, and more information.
