ACHF Arts Access
These types of community spaces are deeply needed in this area to show LGBTQ+ folks they are safe and welcome. The previous drag show on campus brought together college students, high schoolers from Marshall and the surrounding area, and community members. 134By the act of attending a drag show, the performers offer audience members a chance to de-vilify what has been splattered across the media and through political platforms. They will have an experience upon which to draw to respond to vitriolic accusations about what happens during drag shows. They can respond by describing their own experiences. We can evaluate success through number of people and sentiment of the audience. We can also look at performer tips. Drag performers received tips from audience members to indicate an appreciation for art and performance. By gathering data from the performers about the amount of tips they receive, we will have the opportunity to report back the impact the performances had on audience members.
