For the Love of Judy MargOH Channing

About This Show

The story of a gay boy who dreamed of being a singer and his dysfunctional upbringing. This autobiographical show, based on the life of creator BT Shea, takes us on a journey of how he found his voice through the dark twists and turns of drag life, and with the help of a lot of sequins, lipstick, a glitter of hope and the music of Judy Garland, ultimately realized his dreams.  

Equity approved Showcase.
