Drag Heals

Season 1 trailer | Season 2 trailer 

Drag Heals is one of the most inclusive drag shows on television: showcasing Queens, Kings, Things, Monarchs and Clowns. It follows eight drag artists over an intensive ten-day workshop to build their own show. In each workshop, a guest coach joins series host and stage director Tracey Erin Smith in exploring soul-deep story sharing techniques as well as the unique talents and skills required from a drag performer.

The guest coaches include Leon Silvers, who developed drag therapy into a clinical practice; a professional MUA and choreographer; plus community mentors and drag artists including Beardoncé and Champagna, who offer sage advice from their experiences of working as drag artists around the world. With their insights, the participants dive deep into their personal lives to create emotional and cathartic performances.

Over the course of the intensive workshops and story crafting, the participants dive deep into their personal lives to unearth lessons learned and bring them back to the audience as a gift. They are both the pirate and the pirated, the island and treasure. The resulting stories are emotional and cathartic, both for the drag artists and the audiences who share in the experience.
