Known as the Bespectacled Butt Plugged Bearded Bastard of Burlesque, Chrissy Bunz may look like the enemy, but comes as advertised. He hopes his presence challenges what it means to be a man and makes other straight men look at themselves deeper and realize that they don't have to subscribe to the patriarchy. We're so excited to have him at WDF!

Interested in what it takes to be a producer? Don't miss this class on Stage Management for Drag and Burlesque (and Beyond!) with gnat on Sept 19.

While performers capture the audience onstage, magic is happening behind the curtain too. This class will go over the basics of stage management for drag and burlesque stages, how to collaborate with producers ahead of showtime, crisis management when things go wrong, and more! Attendees will leave with ready-to-use paperwork and a solid foundation to get started in the world of event stage management.

This class is taught by Gnat, a local performer/producer/stage manager who has had an out-of-drag career in stage management for the last 12 years and is a proud member of Actors Equity Association (the actors and stage management union)!

All classes are donation-based but require pre-registration to attend!

Wigs can be an excellent addition to your next look, but learning how to style them can be daunting!

Baby Phart moved to New England a couple years ago, and has recently started performing in the Worcester area.

"I never thought I would be blessed to know such a creative and trans inclusive drag and burlesque community," they said in their application.

If you like the absurd, the humorous, and the unhinged, you will love what Baby Phart is bringing to Worcester Draglesque Festival. Hint: the second photo is from the act they'll be doing.
