ARTS!IN THE BELOVED BACKSTAGE musical

42nd Street, ingenue Peggy Sawyer saves

a Broadway show from closing when the

show’s leading lady breaks her ankle.

Peggy learns the role in 36 hours, goes

out a youngster, and comes back a STAR.

While this scenario may seem outlandish,

it perfectly embodies the ultimate theat-

rical mantra “The show must go on!”

We’re seeing many shining examples

of this centuries-old theatrical credo across

all genres in the arts world during the

pandemic—from theater and opera com-

panies that have been providing audiences

with a steady line-up of streaming produc-

tions since their stages went dark, to

museums that are bringing their exhibits

outdoors, to singers and musicians whose

street performances and virtual concerts

provided hope and healing during the

darkest days of the pandemic.

#PBSForTheArts, a multiplatform cam-

paign from PBS and The WNET Group,

celebrates the resiliency of the arts in

America during the COVID-19 pandemic

shutdown and reopening, fea-

turing new performing arts

content filmed within the con-

straints of the pandemic. The

variety of programming across

broadcast and digital platforms

showcases the devastating impact of the

pandemic to the arts industry and looks

at the ways arts organizations have adapted

and evolved to meet the moment.

The collection of #PBSForTheArts

content will air on THIRTEEN and stream

on pbs.org/arts and the PBS Video app

(pbs.org/app). Curated conversation and

digital shorts will be available on PBS social

media platforms using #PBSForTheArts.

Look for new specials and original digital

content from Great Performances, Amer-

ican Masters, PBS NewsHour’s Beyond the

Canvas series, the PBS Digital Studios

series Sound Field, and The WNET Group

in the coming months.

In the meantime, enjoy a variety of

recent #PBSForTheArts premieres that

are now available to stream, including

Great Performances: The Arts Interrupted,

a documentary special featuring the sur-

vival stories of arts organizations across

America; Inside the Met, a behind-the-

scenes look at the Metropolitan Museum

of Art’s struggle to survive amid the pan-

demic; and Great Performances: Uncle

unleashed by the Stonewall riots. Their

name is an homage to Les Ballets Russes

de Monte Carlo, a company that toured

the U.S in the 1950s, introducing Amer-

icans to classical Russian ballet.

Their first performances were latenight

shows in Off-Off Broadway lofts where

they danced on a twelve-by-twelve stage

made of plywood with the audience

perched on folding chairs. Today, the

Company performs for sold-out audi-

ences around the world, from Tokyo to

Texas to New York City’s Joyce Theater.

Their flamboyant style and impeccable

ballet technique have won over balleto-

manes and critics alike, and earned

them a passionate cult following.

“The amalgam of ballerina

finesse and daft diva antics

is brilliant, unsettling, rivet-

ing—the epitome of Trocks

style,” Alastair Macaulay

wrote in a 2016 New York

Times review.

Despite their slapstick

antics and outrageous faux

stage names (Olga Suppho-

zova, Nadia Doumiafeyva, and

Sergey Legupski,

to name a fabulous

few), the Trocks

have great affection

for the ballet traditions

they are spoofing. Bal-

lerina Boys reveals how being

a member of this celebrated,

highly unique dance company

has informed and transformed

the lives of its dancers.

dancers’ personal stories with the Com-

pany’s h istory—from their ear ly

performances and rise to fame in the

1970s, through their devastating losses

during the AIDS crisis—culminating in a

performance of “Stars and Stripes

Forever,” their most overtly political

dance, at Central Park Summer-

Stage in 2019 as part of the

city’s Stonewall 50th Anni-

versary celebration.

Rehearsal and perfor-

mance footage of “Swan

Lake” and other beloved

signature works bring the

Company’s vibrant history to

life. Interviews include Artistic Direc-

tor Tory Dobrin, Company Founders Peter

Anastos and Natch Taylor, former Trock

Roy Fialkow, and historian Eric Marcus,

author of Making Gay History.

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo

FOR NEARLY 50 YEARS, Les Ballets

Trockadero de Monte Carlo—the inter-

nationally acclaimed, all-male comic

ballet company—has delighted critics

and audiences alike with their witty,

flamboyant send-ups of Swan Lake and

other ballet classics. Before every

performance, these talented

male ballerinas heap on

makeup, don tutus, and

emerge from the

wings to perform the

great female roles of

classical ballet—in

pointe shoes.

As culture wars ignite

over gender fluidity and

LGBTQ rights, the story of the Trocks—

as they are affectionately known in the

dance world—could not be more relevant.

The Company’s superb artistry and irre-

sistible comedy combine magically to

break down entrenched stereotypes and

prejudices—one pirouette at a time.

Discover the remarkable story of the

groundbreaking dance troupe in Ballerina

Boys, a new documentary premiering

this month on American Masters in honor

of LGBTQ Pride Month.

The film follows the Trocks on tour

through the South, interweaving the

Philip Martin-Nielson, who is autistic,

was bullied as a child as he had no lan-

guage skills and an enormous obsession

with ballet. “I was teased every day, made

fun of every day, hit every day. Ballet was

the only place where I was able to dry

out the tears,” he says in the film. At 23,

he is a soloist with the Trocks, acclaimed

for dancing Odette in “Swan Lake.”

Having emerged from under the

shadow of a hyper-masculine father,

Duane Gosa is keenly aware of the image

he projects as a Black male ballerina.

“Being in a company like the Trocks where

I can freely be Black and gay and a dancer

onstage is a great thing for young

people to see. I’m fortunate to

show them this is possible,”

says Gosa, whose signature

role is the uproarious

“Dying Swan” solo.

We also meet Albie

Pretto, who was frus-

trated by the limitations

of conventional male

ballet roles. “At the tradi-

tional ballet companies,

men end up dancing behind

the girls, just partnering

them. I felt that wasn’t enough

for me,” he explains. “There is some-

th ing rea l ly empower ing about

performing in drag.”

Kevin Garcia was 12 years old when

he first discovered the Trocks. “It was

like seeing heaven open up,” he says.

PBS stations across the country.

The New York Times “Kids” column

praised the series debut last summer,

calling it a refreshing, much-needed “cul-

tural fix” as many arts institutions remained

closed. “This television series has not only

public broadcasting’s bona fides, but also

a mission to help prepare campers ages

5-10 for school,” the column noted.

Common Sense Media gave Camp TV

a rave review and an A+ in the “Educa-

tional Value” category, noting, “This series

offers unique learning opportunities from

presenters with different kinds of teach-

ing styles and subject matter. Kids (and

even some parents) will learn a lot from

this well-rounded series.”

“Camp TV and our other popular

instructional learning series Let’s Learn

NYC! are absolutely core to our mission,”

says Sandra Sheppard, Director and

Executive Producer, Kids’ and Media

Education at The WNET Group. “We

recognize that there are many kids who

may not have access to the Internet, day

camps, or adequate technology. As a

public media provider, we know that

our most important mission is to fill that

gap and reach children and their families

with dynamic educational content.”

exploring nature, math, science, the arts,

Nature: The Bat Man of Mexico

Wed 30th, 8 p.m. • pbs.org/nature

SINCE ECOLOGIST RODRIGO MEDELLIN first

kept bats in his bathroom as a child, he has

dedicated his life to saving them. Now Mexico’s

most famous export, tequila, is at stake. Medellin’s

beloved Lesser long-nosed bat is crucial to the

liquor—it pollinates the plants the drink is made

from. To save these bats from extinction, Medel-

lin must track the bats’ epic migration across

Mexico, braving hurricanes, snakes, and seas of

cockroaches. David Attenborough narrates.© AMY COOPER
