Tennessee Performing Arts Center Hosts ‘A Drag Queen Christmas’ for ‘All Ages’

James K. Polk Theater, affiliated with the Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC) and partly funded by taxpayers, hosted a drag queen Christmas show advertised for “all ages” over Thanksgiving weekend. Tennesee State Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson presented legislation that would ban children from being exposed to sexually explicit performances. “I think we would all agree that some of the videos we have seen recently of some of these drag shows that were quote-unquote family-friendly were anything but that,” Johnson said.

From The Daily Wire:

According to Tony Marks, the vice president of marketing and communications for TPAC, the arts center has a “strong working relationship” with the state of Tennessee. “As a result, we are aware of these concerns and will take them into consideration related to venue rental decisions going forward,” Marks told The Daily Wire. 

Murray & Peter Present’s drag Christmas show tour, which began in November, will conclude on December 29 after several performances in Florida.
