AMATEUR DRAG ON STAGE
AMATEUR DRAG ON STAGE
The Mini-Draggieland Drag Pageant is the final showcase of our October workshop series! It is a celebratory, low-stakes drag competition where student performers share the personas they’ve developed throughout the month.
This evening, we celebrate drag artistry, performance, identity, and creative expression. Offering a welcoming space for attendees and performers, we experience the artistry and empowerment of drag in an inclusive, educational setting.
This event will take place on Wednesday, October 29 in Rudder Forum, and is open to the public through ticketed entry. Performers will participate in a brief Q&A segment, followed by a talent performance (lip sync, dance, comedy, or other creative act). A panel of local drag artists will offer affirming feedback and select a winner based on creativity, confidence, and crowd engagement.
