AT THE WAKE OF A DEAD DRAG QUEEN
by Terry Guest directed by Preston Crowder January 26 - February 18, 2024
OHIO PREMIERE
Wig: snatched. Waist: snatched. Life: snatched. Drag star Courtney Berringers welcomes you to her wake. She has recently died, but make no mistake, this isn’t your grandma’s funeral. There will be no black frocks, no perfumed flowers, and definitely no crying. This is a celebration. AT THE WAKE OF A DEAD DRAG QUEEN is a play about the fine art of drag - from African Gods and Goddesses to Trina and Whitney Houston. This irreverent, funny, and moving new play thoughtfully uses storytelling, drama, and drag to celebrate Blackness and southern queerness while exploring identity, illness, and the narratives we construct for ourselves. Come party at the wake and bring your own heels!
Run time: 90 minutes No intermission Content Advisory: Adult Language, Adult Situations, Lighting Effects, Descriptions of Violence
