Since ancient times, men have been dressing up as women to perform in a variety of settings. From ancient Japanese theater to Shakespeare's classics, a man in drag was something one just came to expect from the theatre. But in modern times, dressing in drag has taken on a much different meaning. For those who don a wig and strap on a fabulous pair of heels, drag is an escape from reality, a visceral and visual protest performed with a shiny, and often irreverent veneer. But, at its core, drag is about creating an outlet to overcome personal fears, anxieties, and shortcomings, in a larger than life way. These themes, and more, are on display in TheaterWorks newest production of Matthew Lopez' THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA MCBRIDE.  

Nashville singer/songwriter Gretchen Peters has released her new track 'Disappearing Act'. The song is currently streaming via Rolling Stone Country, who describes the track: 'A vivid portrait of a woman who's lost too much to care about appearing genteel, Peters' character sounds like she knows better than to get too comfortable.' 'Disappearing Act' is the first single from Peters' upcoming album Dancing With The Beast, which will be released May 18th.
