Drag-Themed ‘We’re Here’ on HBO April 23
Unscripted drag series We’re Here premieres on HBO April 23. There are six episodes. The show recruits residents of small-town America to participate in a one-night-only drag show.
Each episode sees drag queens Bob the Drag Queen, Eureka O’Hara and Shangela Laquifa Wadley visit a different small town “to inspire and teach their own ‘drag daughters’ to step outside their comfort zone for a night of no-holds-barred, full-on drag,” said HBO.
We’re Here is created and executive produced by Stephen Warren and Johnnie Ingram.
