Peterborough's first ever drag race is brought to you by Mysterious Entity Theatre and The Sapphire Room.
A gender bending extravaganza, the drag race features a line-up of brave contestants who will dress in drag and compete in an obstacle course of typically gender-related tasks.
The Male Stereotype Course Events Are:
1. Call the play on a hockey game
2. Tie a Tie
3. Put on Cufflinks
4. Find a location on a map and refold it
5. Screw in and remove a screw using a power drill
On the "Female" side of things, (biological males in drag)
1. Women's Curling by Catalina's (rolling curlers)
2. Sitting pretty and tying a scarf
3. Thread the needle
4. Change the baby
5. Apply lip liner and lipstick without a mirror
Winners of the obstacle course will compete in the final high-heel-walk-with-VHS-tape-balance to determine the grand champion of the day.
The losers will compete in their "own" gender course and then go on to compete in the grand champion high heel race.
All contestants will be judged for speed and artistic merit by esteemed judges Bill Kimball and Kate Story.
