Artist’s Statement
This show is about catharsis. A delightful reckoning of how queer Minnesotans respond to an unbelievable crisis. Drag is inherently political, but this is a play about surviving the unimaginable.
My drag career as The Other Jeannie Retelle has been marred by a litany of unfortunate firsts against a backdrop of fascism. My first pageant, specifically for Trans individuals, happened in Milwaukee (where the RNC was held months prior) the night after Trump won his second term. My second run at HUGE Theater opened the night after Trump was first elected. My first ever run at HUGE closed on June 12, 2016, the night after the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. That evening, I hit an impasse. A new form of expression that had unlocked years of performance and gender trauma suddenly felt like a threat to my life. That feeling has held ever since.
Now I bartend at a gay bar in downtown Minneapolis. I bonded with another new hire because we both developed escape plans during our first weeks of training. We belong to the first generation whose adolescence was shaped by gun violence. It started in our schools; now it is an omnipresent threat in a world filled with hate. This play is not just a response—it is an escape plan.

Clips and Dips is a screening + session experience where we highlight iconic Ballroom moments and come together to session as a community. We’ll be watching clips, learning from them, and then getting active practicing, sharing, and growing in real time.

This is our newest program, and we’re so excited to be partnering with the Pride Cultural Arts Center. They offer amazing resources from their community closet, artist residency program to other opportunities to stay connected so this collaboration felt like a natural fit.

This is an open session not a formal class. All categories are welcome. You’ll learn by watching, engaging, and receiving feedback from members of the Minnesota Ballroom community.

Make sure to register through the link in our bio so we can get a headcount.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. taken in Minneapolis, Minnesota by @chachitheecassadine

I want to thank EVERYONE who came out and supported the Queen of Hearts Pageant at the legendary Gay 90’s!! ❤️♠️♦️♣️

We had an amazing time and BABY… A PAGEANT WAS HAD!!!

A huge thank you to the 9 incredible contestants who showed up, showed OUT, and reminded us exactly what it means to be a queen and a performer. The talent in that room was undeniable!

Congratulations to @she_is_toxicc , your newly crowned Queen of Hearts 2026‼️ You looked absolutely stunning last night. That presentation look was EVERYTHING!!! 👏🏽👑

@ladiesoflafemme thank you so much for making me feel like a true queen during my stepdown. I genuinely enjoyed my reign and every moment of it.
