From frontier stages to ward houses, Utah’s drag history is as bold and surprising as the state itself. Discover the hidden stories of performers who shaped the cultural landscape—from Brigham Young’s 17th son performing Italian opera in drag to traveling drag shows captivating small-town audiences in the 1920s.
