The Trocks, an All-Male Comic Ballet Troupe in Drag, Turn 50
Briefly

"When the Trocks, as they are known, gave their first performances in a downtown New York loft in 1974, the men who put the show together didn't imagine their group would outlast the two-weekend run."
"The company, which is performing at the Joyce Theater beginning Tuesday, had its first performance was in a loft in downtown New York in 1974."
"Our point of view has always been: We are men doing performances of ballet in drag for comedic purposes," said Tory Dobrin, the company's artistic director.
"New York taxi drivers probably wouldn't bat an eyelid at the sight of men in tutus these days, but Tory Dobrin... said they were never interested in shocking anyone or making a political statement."
