Get your wig caps and stilettos on for The Annoyance Theatre's debut Drag Queen Dramedy Glitter in the Gutter. Inspired by John Waters, Designing Women and Dionne Warwick, Glitter in the Gutter offers a fresh look at drag culture while paying R-E-S-P-E-C-T to its roots. Presented in the style of a live musical sitcom with loads of sass and drag queen drama, Glitter in the Gutter explores what is fake and what is "realness".
The plot unfolds in a crummy apartment with windows that look out into trash-filled alleys. Pepper LaRoo and Velveeta Fitzgerald are inseparable drag queen roommates that dream of hitting it big and leaving the frugal life behind. When things start looking up for one of them, their relationship is put to the test and the girls are forced to rethink their understanding of glamour and the importance of sisterhood.
