About Rollerena
She's a legend. She's an icon. She's truly a one-of-a-kind New Yorker who was there when it was happening:

Whether rollerskating around the Village in the 70's, or serving as an outspoken activist in the 80's through her rebirth as New York's fairygodmother in the 00's, there's always room for Rollerena in our lives and our history!

About Witti Repartee (www.wittirepartee.com)
Witti Repartee has been called many things. "Hostess." "Chanteuse." "Fabulous." "Woody." Since 1997, she has been entertaining crowds of two and three in some of the darkest, most out - of - the - way places her agent can find. You may not remember having seen her at the Ice Palace, you may have forgotten her performances at Mother, or you may have blocked those evenings when she's dominated the piano at The Monster. Harder to forget are her years of work with the Imperial Court of New York as a performer and event producer, the year and a half she hosted "The Gayest Link" at Hannah's Lava Lounge, or her reign in 2003 as the Queen of the New York City Gay Men's Chorus. She has appeared at over 500 events in New York City, many under the auspices of either the Imperial Court or the Gay Men's Chorus, but also makes regular appearances at The Will Clark Show. Witti has appeared as a featured performer at coronation balls in Washington, D.C., Anchorage, Alaska, San Francisco, California and Lexington, Kentucky. She's hosted drag shows around the country, stripper shows in Kentucky, bingo in New York City, and in June 2013, served as Mistress of Ceremonies at the 30th Annual Leather Pride Night. Currently, she's exploring opportunities in boylesque and burlesque, working on both solo and group cabaret shows, and continuing her work with the Imperial Court System.
