Drag queens are known for their dramatic behavior. Duh. In a business where the prettiest, most charismatic man-lady brings home the most dollar bills at the end of the night, things can get pretty competitive.
Theatergoers get a look at what happens when drag queens go from “Girl, those shoes are killer,” to “Girl, there’s a killer on the loose,” in the play Diva Down. The original murder mystery written by local troupe director David Salcido premieres at The Rock.
