WPL Programming for Youth

Saturday, November 16, 10AM: Drag Story Hour with Emoji Nightmare and Katniss Everqueer
Drag Story Hour (DSH) is just what it sounds like...drag performers reading stories to children. DSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models. In spaces like this, kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where people can present as they wish, where dress up is real. 

Emoji Nightmare and Katniss Everqueer, two of Vermont's favorite queer performing artists, will be sure to delight and captivate audience members of all ages as they share stories focused on individuality, activism, gender, creativity, expression, and social responsibility. 
This program is provided courtesy of a grant from the Vermont Community Foundation’s Samara Fund.
