Now in its third year, the Portland Drag Theatre Workshop returns to the Risk/Reward Festival of New Performance! Championing drag artists as writers and actors—beyond the four minutes they typically get to lipsync at a bar—the Portland Drag Theatre Workshop offers project support, documentation, feedback, and an audience. Hosted and produced by Anthony Hudson (Carla Rossi) and Pepper Pepper, this two-day workshop presents a showcase of new pieces by Body Academics, Sterling Francis Kennedy and Silver DeBris, Pepper Pepper, and headliner and Portland drag legend Honey Hart.

Saturday, June 21 at 4 PM:

- “Little Polycule on the Prairie” by Body Academics
- "Dead Body" by Sterling Francis Kennedy, performed by Silver DeBris, leading member of Reed College’s House of Elvira

Sunday, June 22 at 4 PM:

- headliner Honey Hart presents a new full-length work
- preview of a new multimedia work by Pepper Pepper
