Drama Tops’ newest voyeuristic endeavor reflects on our queer elders, generational traumas, pop music, white privilege, and PrideTM branded rainbow OREOs. We are just two queers grappling with life’s biggest questions; Are we hot enough to survive in this economy? Queer commodification will make you rich if you’re pretty and white… but aren’t we? How do we deal with being half victim, half perpetrator? We wrestle, push, and scream into each other’s bodies searching for answers as we flirt with the surreal. Watch us take control of our queer lives in “Boys! Boys! Boys!”
“AAAAGHHHHHH!!!!! I’m clearing my September.”

ARTIST BIOS
Drama Tops was born from the artistic partnership of Elby Brosch and Shane Donohue. They began making work together five years ago with the creation of a solo on two bodies. The dynamic between their trans body and cis-ish body has created beautiful moments of frustration, competition, tenderness, and comedy. Drama Tops blends the worlds of nightlife and concert modern dance to create an interesting and unique blend of accessible, funny modern dance. You may have seen the Drama Tops perform in their self produced show, Drama Tops, this is for you, at Washington Hall, at On the Boards in Northwest New Works, at Velocity in Fall Kick Off, at Kremwerk in Family Meal and Catharsis, in Heels! At Cha Cha, and at a pop up party at Photon Factory. You may have seen the Drama Tops perform in their self produced show, “Drama Tops, this is for you”, at Washington Hall, at On the Boards in Northwest New Works, at Velocity in Fall Kick Off, at Kremwerk in Family Meal and Catharsis, in Heels! At Cha Cha, Sissy Butch, High F@ggotry, and more.
