History of Drag in Theatre

Welcome to Misteyre

Creations. I am your host AJ and today we are talking about the

history of drag in theatre. Drag is a polarizing subject these days

but lets look at the history so you can learn for yourself. When we

first though to do this episode we had expected it to be a 1 and done

situation to support our friends in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. We

found however it to be a truly complex subject. It took us on a

journey through all cultures and around the world. So this will be a

multi part episode. In this episode I had the pleasure of talking to

Tamara Burnett my sister in law, and a music teacher who specializes

in theatre. One note; in a segment I say UK and should have said

Britain sorry for the mistake. Please enjoy!

In talking to Tamara

about drag in theatre; we found out about the struggles of teachers

and students trying to play roles which require them to dig deep and

work hard. It helped them learn about their craft and themselves.

Tamara talked about how theatre helped the students build friendships

and learn about one another in ways only the theatre could provide.

Thank you Tamara for coming on with us and sharing your experience

and understanding with us. I hope you all had fun and learned about

what drag is and how it changed the world. I have many links in the

notes for you to please follow them and learn more about Drag. Its a

beautiful art form which must not be oppressed by idiot politicians

with skewed points of view. It takes a strong person to do what

people in Drag do and perform so we must support them in these times.

Thank you all for joining us and please like follow and subscribe on
