Fri 5/24 @ 7:30-9PM
Despite the attempts of some Ohio state legislators to make it into a boogieman to scare people, drag is everywhere these days. Once primarily seen in gay bars, these days you can find drag shows in restaurants and music clubs, at festivals and in churches. And this week you can find drag outdoors at — of all places — the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes.
There, one of the area’s most creative drag artists, Dr. Lady J, who has a PhD from Case Western Reserve University and wrote her dissertation on “The Mainstreaming of Drag on the 90s,” will host an outdoor drag show with nature providing the backdrop for a roster of noted area drag performers: Jamiacan-born vocalist/drag artist Kimmy Katarja, drag king Ryder Slowly, and Sassy Sascha, bubbly, born-female drag queen, who also hosts area drag shows.
Get tickets here. Food and drinks will be available for purchase at the event.
