We Three Queens
LIP’s newest a current project is a short, We Three Queens!
A road trip through the wilds of Finland to find the next Tony star!
We Three Queens follows the adventures of drag queens seeking the newly minted Tony-award deserving star. It adapts the story the three Magi in Matthew, inverting the gender roles.
This story is not only hilarious, it plays with an important theme in the history of western culture, while providing screen time for characters that are less well represented as part of Finland–LGBT and minorities.
