The Time Out New York Lounge, in association with New World Stages and 21st Century Life, moves on to Week Two of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DRAG! This sassy elimination competition spanning six Wednesdays will feature themed performances, ruthlessly scrutinized by a rotating panel of celebrity judges, at the Time Out New York Lounge at New World Stages, 340 West 50th Street (between Eighth & Ninth Avenues).

The next set of judges will be Michael Riedel of the NY Post, Stephen Guarino of LOGO's "Big Gay Sketch Show," and Broadway's Tituss Burgess (Little Mermaid) who will also be performing in concert at NWS to benefit The Trevor Project on October 30th. Among the judges in upcoming weeks will be Charles Busch, Frank DiLella (of NY1), the Cagelles of La Cage Aux Folles, Brandon Voss (The Advocate), and cast members from Divine Sister, among others.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DRAG is hosted by Paige Turner, who has been working the NYC boards for the past several years. A cross between Debra Messing and Elle Woods, with a little retro flair and a whole lot of musical theater, she has headlined at Splash, Therapy, Pieces, The Ritz, among others. She has hosted bingo and karaoke more times than she'd like to admit. Paige and her gal pal Eve Starr hosted the well received Glitz Crackers in midtown for over a year, showcasing Broadway's hottest newcomers. Paige hailed by critics: "this showbiz spitfire is not to be missed and continues to amaze!"

New contestants are accepted each week for the chance to win cash and prizes awarded to the most fabulous of the week. The Grand Finale, filled with the favorites from previous weeks, will be on Wednesday, December 1st. Audience votes determine the fiercest queen of them all, who will receive a cash prize and the opportunity to host a drag night at the Time Out New York Lounge at New World Stages!

Those who think they have what it takes to win this competition that's strictly not for sissies should waste no time in sending a headshot and resume to timeoutnylounge@newworldstages.com. Type DRAG COMPETITION in the subject line of the email.
