New England’s Premiere Drag King Troupe

http://www.atkm.com/

Saturday (March 8) in the Annex

Drag King:  Like a drag queen only instead of a man dressing as a woman and performing feminine stereotypes it’s a woman dressed as a man and parodying masculine behavior.

No doubt many alumni will want to join in to see their funding at work. If you can’t make it, here’s a preview of All the King’s Men performing  I Want to be a Cowboy.  Perhaps readers can suggest more entertaining clips?

Hamilton's trustees, it appears, have a tin ear. How else can one explain the continual foolishness.

What is truly frightening to contemplate is that they actually believe there is merit to such silly programming.

This sounds vaguely like vaudeville. Anybody know exactly what year the educational funds of the college started to be diverted to entertainment of such high calibre?

And this additional news from their website:

"Their five years of steady performance and large fan base has helped them to become New England's premiere drag king troupe. All The Kings Men was the 2004 winner of the Boston Phoenix's Reader's Choice "Best Kept Secret" Award, and Curve Magazine's choice as one of the ten nationwide winners of the "2006 Best Lesbian Theatre Award".

I knew there was something missing from my Theatre major experience at Hamilton. And here, I was always thaught "Shakespeare and Dante divide the modern world between them. There is no third". What would Huey Long say?
