At the Wake of a Dead Drag Queen
by Terry Guest
April 21 - May 9, 2027
Directed by Dee Dee Batteast
Producing Sponsor Donna Martynski
Co-Sponsor Pam Frautschi
Courtney Berringers would like to welcome you to her wake! But—make no mistake—this ain’t your grandma’s funeral. From African Gods and Goddesses to Judy Garland and Whitney Houston, AT THE WAKE OF A DEAD DRAG QUEEN uses legends, icons, camp and drama to tell the story of a pair of drag queens living (and dying) in rural Georgia in 2004. Terry Guest’s whirlwind play explores identity and illness while unapologetically celebrating Black, queer life with all of its sorrows and joys. Come party at the wake—bring your own heels!
