Lindsey Kay has been stabbed. Twice. She’s also been shot. Twice. One time in an H&M. But you wouldn’t know that to look at her. Lindsey Kay is a manager, producer, and assistant who works with drag queens all over the city. She is the ultimate behind the scenes mover and shaker. But she’s also been trapped in quicksand and struck by lightning, pursued by a hitman, and held hostage by a Yogi who just really liked her… energy. Join us for an evening of storytelling where some of New York City’s most talented drag queens assume the role of Lindsey and share her stories. These tall tales may sound like fiction, but what do you believe?
Starring Chandilier, Lauren Ordair, and Whendy Whaxwood.
