circa 1983
Finocchio's operated out of 506 Broadway in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood from 1936 until it closed its doors in 1999.
It remains famous as one of America's earliest, most prominent, and longest-running drag venues
The club billed its ensemble cast as "The World's Greatest Female Impersonators", featuring top-tier trans women, gay performers, and drag queens who performed multiple nights a week
This particular souvenir magazine features an iconic staging layout typical of the venue's promotional postcards and programs: performers dressed in matching vibrant, ruffled can-can style show costumes arranged across a black-and-white checkered stage staircase.
