Rookie Knights
Rookie Knights is a performance and educational program for new and emerging Drag Kings, Things, and underrepresented performers co-founded and hosted by Freddie Knight. We provide safe and accessible opportunities for Drag performers of all ages through mutual aid. You can find Rookie Knights the second Wednesday of every month at Hot Mama's Canteen, or you can sign up for skills workshops to learn more about Drag performance. We also provide learning opportunities to those who want to be involved behind the scenes through our Stage Jesters program. Whether you want to be part of the community through performance, support, or as an audience member, Rookie Knights is here for you!
Drag performers with 1 year of experience or less are invited to sign up to compete in our friendly monthly competition.
Shows require a lot of behind the scenes support. Our Stage Jesters program (more commonly known as Stage Kittens), is an opportunity to learn the ropes of show support.
We've partnered with GLYS to offer a drag workshop program for youth ages12-21 where participants can explore their identities and learn the ins and outs of drag.
