Created by Johnnie Ingram and Stephen Warren, the reality series would center on Bob the Drag Queen, Eureka O’Hara and Shangela—former contestants on following the trio on a journey across the U.S., as they recruited small-town residents to participate in one-night-only drag shows..
“We really wanted to go beyond the idea that drag was simply a performance art that showed how well you could dance, how well you could lip-sync, and how awesome you could look in a corset and a dress,” he adds. “[We wanted to show] that it was so much more than that, and that the potential to gain something from it, and the potential to have people really enjoy seeing it unfold, could grow from what someone’s personal story is, and what the stakes are for them, getting up there in drag.
Part of lending each show the right feel involved tracking down the appropriate venue. “We didn’t want to just go into a big theater and have it look like a stage show. We wanted it to be grassroots-feeling, like it was of and part of the place,” LoGreco says.
Staging the drag shows was a major challenge for LoGreco, as a director, given the fact that he had limited experience shooting live events. Nonetheless, he was intent on innovating within this space, “[pulling] away from the convention of how a live event for television is shot.”The goal was for the shows to feel “experiential,” meaning that LoGreco didn’t put cameras way up high, or fly them around on jibs. “It’s not as if we didn’t have the resources to do that.
