Casting Note: It’s important to remember that these Actors are not doing drag characters so much as portraying older, down on their luck men in group therapy who are five Los Vegas drag performers.
The Divas are five Las Vegas drag performers between the ages of 60 and 70 who have been in the business a long time. They are a bit grizzled. In their younger, glory days, they were opening acts for big names at big hotels and sometimes even headliners...but those days are over.
**Ability to do drag is a plus but not a must**
