The stage at Harmony Cafe in downtown Appleton will come alive Saturday with artists whose performances will playfully challenge the mainstream concept of gender.
“Winter Drag Wonderland,” an event that combines fashion modeling with stage performances such as singing, dancing, or lip-synch routines, is an invitation for the community to experience a form of personal and artistic expression that some may consider unconventional for the Fox Cities.
Drag shows aren’t new to the community but typically have occurred in bars, said Jesse Heffernan, facilitator of the GLBT Partnership, a support group for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning teens ages 14 to 18, and their peer allies.
