Satirical New Musical Takes on Controversy – Drag Queen Story Hour: The Musical

GLENS FALLS — Drag Queen Story Hour: The Musical turns controversy into comedy with a satirical production that takes aim at book bans, pride flag crackdowns, and the LGBTQ+ protests that have divided small towns across America.

Inspired by real events, the show is a response to the six-month closure of a local public library in 2023 following protests against a scheduled drag story hour. 

The show will stage June 6 to 8 at the Charles R. Wood Theater in Downtown Glens Falls.

“Librarians report over 1,000 instances of LGBTQ+ book bans every year, and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation has tracked more than 140 drag story hour protests annually,” musical creator Neal Herr said in a statement. “Our show uses humor to spotlight how these battles are playing out in small towns across the country.”
