[sws_yellow_box box_size=”100″]Dykes Do Drag [/sws_yellow_box]

Produced by Heather Spear, The Gentleman King
“Dykes Do Drag” – the title says a mouthful but not all there is to say.
Dykes Do Drag is comprised of queers of all genders and orientations, celebrating an expanding continuum of gender expression and performance in the Upper Midwest for 15 years. This edgy performance art cabaret features the Twin Cities’ best as well as newcomers in traditional Drag and burlesque, with live music, boi-lesque, modern dance, video and visual art, and lip-synching in enticing and exciting hilarity.
A few more bombastic terms to describe DDD include but are not limited to: sexy, radical, entertaining, titillating, kinky and weird. We perform 5 times a year at the Bryant-Lake Bowl!
Early cast submissions are in and it is official!!!! We have another kick ass line up for you!!!
Gentleman King, Buttgirl, Sackojaweeda, Miss Pattergood, Jean Luc Dicard, Bruce Sprungsteen, Paulie Graff, Dickie Van Dyke, Mistress Ginger, and a very special guest Marcel Michelle
(there will also be a game of Where’s the Lil’Cooch at the end of the show).
