Subseries Scope and Content

From the Sub-Series:

The subseries consists predominately of Pierce's performances as a female impressionist at venues across the country. The photographs also document his early stage work with Rio Dante; he and Dante developed and performed skits utilizing "Les Moppettes." Les Moppettes were puppets that allowed the expressive face of the performer to be seen seemingly attached to a puppet body. The body of the puppet allowed for more exaggerated and comical movements.
