Enter the fabulous world of competitive ballroom drag in Wig Out!, a dazzling play about the desire to be desired, find your home, and out-walk the competition. While opposing houses prepare for the catwalk showdown of the year, friendships are forged, loyalty is tested, and lovers are lured and lost. Sizzling with sincerity and style, and fueled by a pop-filled playlist, this exhilarating show by the writer of the cinematic sensation Moonlight brings the riotous, defiant drag queen sub-culture of the early 2000s to glorious, vivid life.
