In this play, Auntie, an aging drag queen, sits backstage with a newbie-queen and bequeaths to her the legacy of a people. Auntie recounts her own ridiculousness coming of age in NYC in the 90’s, meeting Quentin Crisp, having her nails done, and getting bashed. As a dilettante historian, she reaches across continents and times to weave a broader tale that ties her own adventures into the tapestry of queer history.

“You came from a people. A betrayed race of glitter and tucking, of illusion and bone-crushing, throat-throttling reality,” she tells her protégé. “Being happy is the most politically threatening thing you can be. Smile all the time.”

Faced with her mortality, Auntie needs a younger hand to receive her bedazzled torch. Our community asks: What is drag? Why is it so powerful? Where has it existed and for how long? Why is drag history important? Auntie has answers and she ain’t afraid to say it how it is!

Auntie’s endowment is our birthright. Information we need as a community to thrive. As our community ages we must hand the honored, hallowed and horrifying past to the next generation.
