Varla Jean Merman, aka Jeffery Roberson, has spent the last 30 years performing at such venues as Carnegie Hall, the Sydney Opera House, and Lincoln Center, as well as the occasional plywood-covered pool table at a dive bar near you. Her 27th consecutive one-woman show in Provincetown, “Varla Jean: The Errors Tour” runs at the Crown and Anchor all summer long.
Through strategic litigation, public policy advocacy, and education, GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders works in New England and nationally to create a just society free of discrimination based on gender identity and expression, HIV status, and sexual orientation. We are only able to do this critical work because of supporters like you.
