Transcription

Early life and education

Born Margaret A. Shaw in Belmont, Massachusetts, she was raised in a working class Irish Congregationalist family with six siblings. When she was thirteen, she was a missionary in Costa Rica.[3]

Shaw moved to New York in 1967. She had a child and was a social worker for the New York City Agency for Child Development.[3]

In 1967, Shaw earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Printmaking at the Massachusetts College of Art.

Career

At the age of 31 after seeing Hot Peaches (a theater group in New York that consisted mostly of drag queens) perform in Sheridan Square, Shaw became involved with the company. Shaw began by painting sets for Hot Peaches and constructing paper mâché heads for a parade performance. Her first experience on stage was in 1975 on a gay tour of Europe. During this time, she saw Spiderwoman Theater in Amsterdam and met Lois Weaver. Shaw and Hot Peaches lived in London for 3 years, where they met Bette Bourne, who would go on to found the Bloolips after his experiences with Hot Peaches.[3][4]

Shaw founded the troupe Split Britches with Deb Margolin and Lois Weaver in 1980.[5] She also co-founded WOW Cafe Theater, an ongoing performance festival and venue.

Shaw suffered a stroke in 2011. Her show, RUFF, directed by longtime collaborator Lois Weaver, explores her experiences as a survivor.[2]

The University of Michigan published A Menopausal Gentleman, a book that includes many of the scripts from Shaw's solo performances.[6]
