“Drag” Performance in the American Theater
[ send me this paper ]
This 15 page report
discusses the history and impact of drag performances on the
American theater. One of the reasons that drag performance,
whether in a drag queen show or in the “legitimate” theater,
titillates, amuses, and shocks people is that it plays with
gender’s most honored and traditional beliefs and celebrates the
confusion of social and sexual identities. Drag is definitely not
found only in the homosexual community, but also in other worlds
of cross-dressing: straight men dressing in drag for personal
thrills and people in the performing arts donning drag as part of
a show. In the a dramatic performance, cross-dressing
establishes a realm that differs from daily preconceptions of
life -- just as drama itself does. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
