In 1905, Maude Adams took the stage as Peter Pan. She would go on to define the role for generations, making Peter the icon he is today. But the secret behind her allure was the hidden fact that Maude Adams was a lesbian, the first in a long line of sapphic actresses playing Peter Pan. Come learn with me about Peter’s LGBTQ history, and the life of Maude Adams: actress, lesbian, philanthropist, and inventor.
