imagine waking mañana and a drag queen is president. what would america look like with wild injections of colorful yes? drag queen in the white house is a reimagining. a game. a queer piece of living theatre about what happens when we set fear down. why not? emancipated lands of yes, and await you —whole celestial realms outside the absurd world of no.

drain the anger. strain the disappointment. if not now, when? if not us, who?
