Life's a drag, if you aren't drag.
Then it's REALLY a drag...because you're a Normie.
Then it's REALLY a drag...because you're a Normie.
Imagine a world where everyone is Drag: drag doctors, drag pilots, drag dog walkers… everyone is happy and FABULOUS all the time!
But there are some people, a distinct minority, who choose to live a basic, non-drag life.
These are the Normies.
Some Normies perform in clubs for the Drags and do mundane things on stage to entertain their fabulous fellow citizens.
Others hide away, pretending the normality of their lives isn't as sad as they truly know it to be.
Normies and Drags live their separate lives, mixing like peanut butter and tuna fish.
So when a Normie and a Drag fall in love: that's scandalous enough.
But what will happen when it's found out that they are committing the greatest crime known to Drag?

MadLab presents...
David Razowsky, The Masterclass
A Subversive’s Guide to Improvisation
“David Razowsky is funny, smart, inquisitive, and artistically fearless.”
–Steve Carell |
SOLD OUT! David's class is now filled. Sometimes things change so if you want to be put on a waiting list email bshimp@me.com and we will put you on the list and let you know if a spot opens up.
David Razowsky is coming to MadLab to teach a MasterClass based on his best selling book, "A Subversive's Guide to Improvisation." In his workshops, students have expressed how much freer they feel in their scene work - and asked, “Why isn’t this how improv is always taught?" Razowsky throws conventional improv wisdom on its head by giving you a unique take on how to create masterful improv scenes. David Razowsky studied, performed, taught, and directed at Second City with Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, and Keegan-Michael Key, among others. He served as Artistic Director of Second City Hollywood before turning his attention to teaching his methodology worldwide. |
