A stage for everyone
Indy Drag Theatre was conceived between Drew Bryson (Blair St. Clair) and Alyjah Duff (April Rosé) with the idea of merging theatre and drag in Indianapolis. That idea has grown into this wonderful organization.It is our hope to bring Hoosiers together by offering a safe space to become immersed in queer culture for both artists and audiences.
Drag is an artform that has always been a part of theatre, and allows people to play characters of any gender. We honor that tradition with what we do today, creating opportunities for for all types of gender expression in any role. There is drag in everyone, and drag is for everyone.
Under the costuming and wigs, we are Hoosiers with stories to share.This stage gives us the space to share those stories with you. This story is told through lip-synched performance, which may be something new to theatre-goers, but is part of the tradition of drag performance.
We hope that you enjoy this unique theatrical experience, and we invite you to be part of our community both on and off stage.

IN LOVING MEMORY
Indy Drag Theatre honors the incredible artists who
graced our stage with their talent, passion, and light.
While we miss them here, their voices still echo, their stories still inspire, and their spirit forever lives in our hearts.

We love you. Always and forever.
As with every Indy Drag Theatre audience, I know these seats are filled with variety: lovers of live theatre, drag divas, and loyal patrons to this fine venue. Sometimes there’s a smattering of Shrek ears among us, or cult-classic aficionados (did you see Clue last year?) From dancing reindeer to demon barbers, we all manage to bend and snap together. I love sitting in this mini Island of Misfit Toys with all of you, watching incredible artists transform the stage with well-timed laughs, subtle commentary, and high-pigment makeup palettes.
While we may not all have grown up in the heyday of Disney Original Movies, I know all of you will enjoy Night School: A Drag Parody Musical. From the set design, makeup artistry, and costuming to the acting, directing, and DRAG – this show is exactly what we all love about IDT: that thing you get when you mix glitter and, dare I say it, gay audacity. A different kind of offbeat joy.
For those of us whose formative years would be a montage of Zenon, Brink!, and The Cheetah Girls – you’re gonna have a blast.
Thank you for your continued support of Indy Drag Theatre and the Phoenix Theatre Cultural Centre.
