At the Wake of a Dead Drag Queen at The Story Theatre

At the Wake of a Dead Drag Queen is a poignant exploration of Black queer life in the rural South, crafted by Terry Guest and directed by Mikael Burke. The play features Guest and Paul Michael Thomson reprising their roles from its world premiere. Set against the backdrop of a wake for a drag queen, it interweaves themes of identity, illness, and the art of storytelling through humor and heart. This reimagined production delves into the complexities of self-expression and community, resonating with contemporary issues surrounding drag culture and personal narratives.
