Episode 75: Drag in Shows

“Everybody say Yeah, Yeah!” This week on Theater Nerds, we are discussing drag in shows, not to be confused with dragon shows (hehe). Hear Rachel & Taylor discuss all of the wonderful shows that incorporate drag, some fun historical facts of drag, and the importance of raising awareness to the safeness of drag shows amidst contradicting legislation.
