In collaboration with Drag Show CPH

'The Holidays are a Drag' is a fully devised drag-theatre experience that reimagines the classic holiday family gathering through a camp, chaotic, and heartfelt lens. Set around a dinner table where tensions simmer hotter than the roast, this show explores the universal highs and lows of family dynamics—love, frustration, and reconciliation—with all the flair and exaggeration of drag performance, burlesque, dramatic monologues, musical performance, and other performance types.

This piece celebrates chosen and biological families, highlighting both the humor and the tenderness of being "home for the holidays"—whatever that means.

PLEASE take the time to read the audition form thoroughly. 

Experience is not a requirement to audition or participate in this show as this is an open audition call. 

If you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out to dragshowcph@gmail.com.
