Friends of George's

Friends of George's A Memphis-based nonprofit theatre company producing original scripted comedies with drag at the center of every story. We also recognized the L.G.B.T.

Resident at the Evergreen Theatre since 2011. Sharp, unapologetic, and entirely its own thing. Friends of George’s was founded in 2010 to produce a reunion for a historic Memphis drag bar known as “George’s”. With that experience, we discovered our passions for event planning and show business. community’s growing need for social opportunities, and activities outside of bars and nightclubs, so we

decided to continue providing new entertainment alternatives with a focus on quality stage productions in the tradition of George’s a.k.a. “The Showplace of the South”. To date, we have hosted and produced more than 23 shows, fundraisers, and special events such as “Male’s Diner”, “Heart Burn”, and of course our Evergreen productions: “DragTastic”, “Legends at the Evergreen”, “George’s Truck Stop & Drag Bar” (1&2) “The Drag Boat”, & "The Dragnificent Variety Show." In the process, we have donated proceeds for special causes and organizations that serve the L.G.B.T. community, including OutMemphis, Friends for Life, Planned Parenthood, Community Legal Center, the Anti-Domestic Violence Campaign, Holy Trinity Church, & the Tennessee Equality Project Foundation, just to name a few. Each of our shows is an original Friends of George’s creation. We have an accomplished board of directors that believes in professionalism, and a brilliant production team with extensive experience in entertainment and stage production as well as event planning, management, promotions, and fundraising. In addition, we attract a broad demographic, and our list of fans and supporters is still growing. We are constantly seeking new opportunities to expand our audience, and better serve the community that supports us.

Power is on at Evergreen. The rest of Midtown can sit in the dark if it wants to.

Closing night for Dragysty, As the Lash Turns. The Cross family gathers in Texas to hear how Sterling revised his will, and Vivian has come back with the poise of a woman who has been underestimated exactly once. Junior brought a psychic to help him read the room. Will they get through the will tonight? Possibly.

Doors and cocktails at 7:00. Curtain at 8:00. This is the last one.

That said, weather has a way of rearranging people’s evenings, and closing night tends to shake a few loose. The waitlist starts at the door when we open at 7:00. Put your name down and take your chances.

If a seat opens, it goes to whoever is standing there.

We are full. Completely floored. Completely grateful. 💛

This was our first time running a show for three full weekends, eight performances, including two Sunday matinees, and if we're being honest, we didn't know if we could pull it off. You answered that question for us. Night after night, this city showed up in a big way, and this final weekend is also completely sold out.

To our audience, the most loyal in this entire country, thank you for showing up for us, again and again. To our volunteers, without whom none of this would be possible. To our staff, our cast, our crew: thank you for pouring everything into Dragysty and making it the phenomenon it became. Because of you, proceeds raised from Dragysty will benefit OUTMemphis.

This is what Friends of George's is. This is family. See you in November for our next show, and this time, our queens are singing live. 🎤✨
