Drag Night comes to Maricopa campus

It is not new to Pinal County, but it is new to Maricopa. Central Arizona Rainbow Education (CARE) is hosting a Drag Night tonight on the Maricopa campus of Central Arizona College.

The show starts at 7 p.m. in the A building, 17945 N. Regent Drive. The event is free.

Organizer Christopher Hall, a CARE founder, has been putting on drag shows at the Signal Peak campus for four years. He said it is meant to entertain and educate.

Hall said there will be performers from Arizona participating tonight. The show will be followed by a question-and-answer period.

“They’ll talk about what drag is, why we do it,” Hall said.

He said the impersonators will also talk about the history, the stigma and how drag is more accepted among some races than in others.
