Kitty has burlesque mentors like Bella Fire and legend Lily Star and they are a drag child of the iconic Monarch Mario Wanna. Last year they were in the Drag Christmas Spectacular as Gary. This year they are so honored to be playing Leslie because they relate to this character on SO MANY levels. Kitty is ecstatic to be able to bring Leslie to life for you this year!

  • Deep Squeak

    they/them

    Props Jester

    Deep Squeak is a Fort Collins drag thing on a burnt out hiatus. However, they will always come out of their winter hibernation to assist with this Drag Spectacular. Squeak’s dubbed line as “Straight Man” was fortunately cut from the original production of this show, which allowed them to focus solely on their back stage passions. They juggle props, set, mics, malfunctions, and communication with the house. Actors come and go, but prop jesters are forever (hopefully).

With gratitude and special thanks to:

Queer, Trans, Drag ancestors who paved the way.
The Community of people at Foothills Unitarian Church, who are committed to a ministry of Queer and Trans celebration. For empowering experiments like this through investing countless hours of staff time and free use of our facility. Thank You.
Jenn Powell, facilities manager extraordinary at Foothills for your production mindset and commitment to making it happen.
To the families of PFLAG who shared their testimony, thank you.
Especially to our partners and sponsors.
