Vancouver Drag Scene Channels ‘School of Rock’ Vibes
Get ready, Vancouver! Sleepy Queers Productions is bringing a dazzling drag show inspired by the cult classic School of Rock to the Fox Cabaret in Mount Pleasant on June 4. This event promises a night packed with foot-stomping fun, electrifying queer performances, and a celebration of millennial nostalgia.
Star-Studded Cast Brings Iconic Characters to Life
The show features a gender-diverse lineup of local drag talent embodying beloved characters: Dust Cwaine as Dewey, Acacia Gray as Summer, Nora Vision as Rosalie Mullins, Homo Hardware as Ned, and more. Together, they’ll channel the rebellious spirit and heart of the original film, delivering a fresh, inclusive twist on the story.
Beyond the Laughs: Themes of Self-Love and Music
While the show captures Jack Black’s signature antics, it also embraces the film’s deeper messages of body positivity, self-acceptance, and the transformative power of music. Written by Mike White—creator of The White Lotus and writer of Despicable Me 4—School of Rock resonates with themes that the drag show aims to highlight.
Live Music and a Battle of the Bands
Adding to the excitement, live performances by the Dust Cwaine Band and Hot Dyke Party will ignite a “battle of the bands” atmosphere, blending rock energy with fierce drag artistry for an unforgettable night.
