Drag culture meets drawing room dramedy as ActorsNET performs Mae West’s show, The Drag, through May 12 at the Heritage Center Theater in Morrisville, Pa. The play is set in New York City during the 1920s, and is a love triangle topped with a decadent celebration of drag and sprinkled with a moral dilemma that still resonates today: How can we be ourselves in a world that is hostile to queer people?

“We seek to underscore the timeless nature of the themes explored in The Drag by blending the 1920s and the 2020s. Despite being nearly a century apart, the events unfolding before you on stage are still taking place today, serving as a stark reminder of the ongoing battle for equality and acceptance,” said directors Hayley and Maryalice Rubins-Topoleski.

The show is at The Heritage Center Theatre, 635 North Delmorr Avenue, Morrisville, near the Calhoun Street Bridge.  Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.  There will be a special Saturday matinee at 2 p.m. on May 11 in addition to the regularly scheduled evening performance. Doors open one half hour before show time. Visit actorsnetbucks.org for ticket information.
