REAL LIFE DRAG QUEENS
Seeking fierce African American and Hispanic drag queens to appear in full gagging attire. Please provide us with a resume of your work/performances and photos of yourself in and out of makeup (videos of live performances will help as well).

About “Lovecraft Country”:
Lovecraft Country is an upcoming drama horror television series based on Matt Ruff’s novel of the same name. It is set to premiere on HBO. The series is produced by Monkeypaw Productions, Bad Robot Productions, and Warner Bros.
Lovecraft Country follows “Atticus Black as he joins up with his friend Letitia and his Uncle George to embark on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father. This begins a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the terrifying monsters that could be ripped from a Lovecraft paperback.”
