A raucous, uninhibited night featuring performers who continuously challenge expectations while delighting audiences, DRAG will usher in the new era of The Dirty Blondes. DRAG will invigorate audiences and help raise necessary funds for upcoming programs including: The Hair Project, a one-night only event featuring 20 solo artists – performers, musicians and writers – celebrating and investigating the role hair plays in building and defining our individual and cultural identities; UnBanned Plays, a twelve-hour performance cycle with live music, poetry and performances of plays that have been controversially banned from American stages, fostering an important conversation about censorship while celebrating the most cutting edge artists in American history; and important development programs for new artists including a summer reading series and workshop, incubator performances of new plays.

DRAG will be emceed by NYC comedy queen and creator of “Dream Queen Tours” Glace Chase and will feature performances by anarchist and androgynous self-described punk rock mermaid drag queen BearLee Legal, performance artist Chris Tyler, fashionista Dynasty (named one of the “fierce queens fueling Brooklyn’s drag renaissance” by IntoMore.com), and activist/choreographer/dancer/singer/actor/gender-nonconformist/drag queen Donald C.
