SYNOPSIS
When a veteran drag queen takes “death drop” too literally, a hosting gig is up for grabs at one of Milwaukee’s last gay bars. A seasoned queen bee and a talented newcomer are both poised to take her crown and secure their spot at the top of the food chain — but only one can reign supreme. Let the queer catfight commence! Regicide is a drag dramedy dripping with shade, show stopping lip syncs, and existential dread, probing why anyone, queer or otherwise, wants to be special in the first place, and what it means if you’re simply not.
