Drag Queen Storytime (for Kids!)

The Pearl, 1715 Wyandotte, Kansas City, MO

At Drag Queen Storytime, drag queens perform and read stories to kids in a theatrical setting, every first Sunday. We will have craft time, a dance party, and every child will go home with a book donated by Turn the Page KC!

Broaden your kid's horizons (and your own) by bringing them to a event at which they can get to know people who defy rigid gender restrictions with glamour, humor, and confidence.

This series is recommended for the whole family, and particularly for those with children from birth to fifth grade.

DQS is facilitated by The Pearl, in cooperation with educator and activist Wick Thomas, and will feature a rotating cast of professional drag queens from the Kansas City Area.

Feel free to dress up in your most fantastic princess, prince, Prince, animal, or any other costume that makes you feel fantastic!

Admission is $20/adult and $10/child. All of the money goes to support the featured artists and The Pearl.

Our intention is to capture the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and to give children positive, and unabashedly queer role models while encouraging literacy and exploration of the theatrical arts.
