New Off-Broadway Play about the NYC House Ball Community



A new show based on the New York City house-ball community, written by Yale School of Drama graduate Tarell Alvin McCraney.

"WIG OUT! explosively brings to life the fierce, competitive world of the drag ball. Intoxicate yourself with this rare glimpse into an unforgettable struggle for power, sexual conquest and glory by acclaimed playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney.

The New York Times raves that McCraney delivers "that thrilling sound that is one of the main reasons we go to the theatre, that beautiful music of a new voice!" Directed by Tina Landau, with a brilliant cast led by Erik King (“Dexter”), Nathan Lee Graham (THE WILD PARTY, “The Comeback”), Rebecca Naomi Jones (PASSING STRANGE), and Daniel T. Booth (a.k.a. downtown drag star Sweetie, “Project Runway”)."


Previews began September 11th, and show officially opens this Sunday, September 27, 2008. Copies of my magazine article "There's No Place Like Home: A History of House Ball Culture" will be available at all shows. View Wig Out's trailer video below.
