At the Lil' Park Drag Show

This spring, a group of young performers have been hosting drag shows (aka Lil' Park Drag Show) in Tompkins Square Park on Saturday afternoons.

Over the Memorial Day weekend, EVG contributor Stacie Joy went to meet these self-described "friendly local drag artists" ... for the show featuring lip-synching and dancing that took place behind the Park office...
Despite the rain, an enthusiastic crowd was on hand, Stacie reported ... 
And to the show... there was a technical glitch at the onset as the original small speaker system failed. However, an audience member came through... and with a smartphone and speaker hooked up via Bluetooth, the show went on with weather-appropriate songs such as "Rain on Me" by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande.

Here's Bad News Bear ...
... and Jasper the Gem ...
There's another show coming up this Saturday afternoon at 4. [Updated: now in Washington Square Park]

    I love the yellow one piece. I would suggest adding a twirling baton or two!
