In a time when LGBTQ+ rights and queer expression are under renewed attack across the country, we’re doubling down on joy, visibility, and the enduring legacy of drag. Legends of Drag isn’t just a show—it’s a fierce, intergenerational tribute to the queens who paved the way.
This year’s event shines a spotlight on many of the phenomenal performers featured in Legends of Drag: Queens of a Certain Age (Cernunnos, 2022)—trailblazing queens who have served as cultural icons, community leaders, and spiritual anchors for decades. From underground balls to blockbuster movies and TV shows, these legends have seen it all.
For the first time, our divas will be sharing the spotlight with the brilliant voices of The Red Ribbon Revue—a musical showcase of HIV-positive performers from across generations, created by Sam Bolen and Brian Mummert. Since its debut on World AIDS Day 2019, the Revue has stood as a joyful, unflinching celebration of life, identity, and the power of visibility.
Because in this moment, visibility is resistance, and celebration is our superpower. Join us and stand in solidarity with the legacies of those who made this all possible. Because history never looked (or sounded!) this good. Get your tickets today!
