History of Drag

BJ & Midori combine their talents into a live educational/entertainment experience called “Life is a Drag” In it, they combine a step by step tutorial in creating a theatrical drag “mug”( face), with a pictorial journey thru the history of “ drag”.. from Shakespeare up to RuPaul, introducing memorable legends in the LGBTQ-plus/drag communities, and how they have propelled us through cultural and political pendulum swings. Audiences will learn all about our history and heritage, and how to look great for when they decide to unleash the “power of drag”!

Joe Monnin (Midori Sour)

Joe has been acting and performing all his life. He’s been in countless Nutcracker Ballets, Cabarets and even the Dancing with the Stars Tour. Majoring in Musical Theater and Dance at Wright State University and Hartford Conservatory he was in numerous shows like Cabaret, Ragtime, Joseph (Joseph), Cinderella (Prince), and Fiddler (Motel). His latest role as Midori Sour has allowed him to sing, dance and confuse audiences of all ages. Her stage credits are imaginary, but impressive.

Stephen Brooks (BJ Stephens)

Stephen's drag career began in Gainesville, FL. He worked his way through college performing as a show cast member at the Melody Club, a Gainesville show bar. As a musical theatre student at the University of Florida, drag seemed a natural outlet for his interest. In BJ’s drag career, she has been a performer, show director, emcee & stand up comedienne, working in a variety of bars & private functions throughout Florida.

BJ has won several titles in the drag community, including Miss North Central Florida, 2nd Alternate in Miss Florida At Large, and is the current title holder of Miss Gay Florida US of A Classic, and Miss Sanford Pride. A self-proclaimed “attention whore”, BJ preforms both lip sync as well as live vocals, with the slogan “Let me entertain you” as her guide.
