Dougherty Arts Center is looking for a fab-o and family-friendly drag king to act as walk-around emcee and interviewer for their June 15 Pride celebration, the Razzle Dazzle Upcycle Event and Queer Art Show. Though they hope for a king, drag performers of any gender are welcome to apply and will be considered.
At the start of her drag career, Divina host Tatiana Cholula told Qmmunity she’d be critiqued for not assimilating enough “American” culture into her acts. “Before I started Divina,” she said, “the scene was rich in amazing Latinx drag performers and artists, but there weren’t any spaces focused on them or they didn’t feel comfortable performing certain songs at certain spaces.” Thankfully, Tatiana did start Divina, and now every other Wednesday you’ll see Oilcan Harry’s stage taken over by the spirits of Latina legends like Gloria Estefan and Paulina Rubio – courtesy of local Latinx drag talent. – James Scott
