Drag queens, melodrama, laughs, loves, work, tears, songs, performance and plenty of screams and bitching during Sunday’s show in an Indiana gay bar. La cage + Boys in the Band.

Mess with us and you get hurt. Sissy boys - yup. We dish. We swish. But take a shot and you’ll limp away - big ouchie. Even in a little Indiana town full of idiot frat boys & haters. Laugh and enjoy the show. But behave or it’ll end in tears - yours.

Every Sunday evening, TiaRa del Fuego’s Parade of Gowns drag show presents the best entertainment in our little, Indiana college town in Hoosier Daddy, the only gay bar around. Between sets, we gather for drinks and nachos at Nacho Mama’s Patio Cafe. Trading lies, jokes, adventures, celebrations and sorrows, our merry band celebrates the life of the small town gay, safe in the bosom of long-time friends.

However, one evening, TiaRa announced she had found “true” love - yet again and was leaving to be with her latest amour. Disaster loomed. We had to face the question: How far will you go to save a friend from her own desires?

Over the course of the evening, the Entrepreneur, the Lush, the Boys, the Spy, the Southern Belle, the Fixer and the Storyteller struggle to help TiaRa find joy and avoid trainwrecks because that is what friends do for friends.
