WORLD PREMIERE

Welcome to the Crown Jewel of Drag in the Midwest: Columbus, Ohio. Who knew? Everybody will after watching this fab documentary, filmed entirely in our “fantastic Gay Snow-Bubble in the middle of Ohio.” Gender is the New Frontier,and here are the pioneers who are defining, redrawing, and crossing those borders. Working within a supportive and nurturing community of artists and activists, this group of men, women, undecideds, and don't-label-me's are putting it all onstage for the empowerment and entertainment of all communities. They fight ignorance and prejudice, both within and without the LGBTQ community, with make-up, defiance, and the pleasures (and pain) of duct tape. Call them what you will (and they do not give a damn what that is), they are two things for certain: they are Strong and they are Fabulous. KINGS, QUEENS & IN-BETWEENS will introduce you to your new heroes. So grab your Viking Hats, push-up bras, Day-Glo wigs, or repurposed Browns' jerseys and join the party. You know you want to. –C.R.
