This original, conceptual storyline is one filled with grotesque glamour, unspeakable horror, nauseating filth... A twisted adventure to the darker sides of Drag and Queer performance art.
Paying our respects to the FREAKS that came before us, shining a spotlight on the times, and entertaining audiences in ways not found anywhere else in Wyoming.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
~ You are not expected to attend auditions in Drag.
~ Previous experience and a fully idealized character are not required, but are always welcome. We will collaborate with each artist to develop character and numbers.
~ Performances are not limited to any specific medium. We are open-minded and would love to see lipsyncing, live singing, dance, or anything your imagination can conjure!
~ Please air on the side of consideration when developing your concept. Historically, there is a strong connection between the "freakshows" of the past and the physical and mentally disabled communities. Be aware of the intent in your concept, and work to remain respectful of these marginalized individuals. We are here to honor, celebrate, and uplift.
~ The safety of our performers and patrons is imperative. High-risk concepts (aerial stunts, fire breathing, sword swallowing, etc.) will receive priority consideration but must come with a thorough safety plan.
