If These Wigs Could Talk presented by Solas Nua at Studio Theatre

DC Theater Arts - Recommended

"...So why is Panti still wondering where she fits in? She spends the bulk of If These Wigs Could Talk’s 75-minute runtime working through that question in a still noble, yet more introspective, call. In her mulling, she takes stock of the current state of drag (“televised, commodified, defanged, and Instagram-able,” she says), recalling the life-changing moment she first encountered a drag queen (exemplifying what she calls “anti-invisibility”) and lamenting the seeming loss of political commentary in the form (“drag isn’t very angry anymore”)."
