The art of drag is just that: an art — and anyone who has seen bad drag knows of this. Long Beach has a rich history of drag, in which Butch Keeling, aka Sabreena, documented for us with his personal drag narrative not too long ago.
Mentoring Youth Through Empowerment, the youth engagement and development program at The Center Long Beach, will be having local legend Jewels of Long Beach host a drag queen/king workshop on June 1 from 4:00pm to 7:00pm. LGBTQ youth from ages 13 to 18 are encouraged to attend (and bring their performing shoes). And even those not interested in performing in drag are encouraged to attend.
