Don't miss out on Town Hall Arts Center's production of the beloved queer musical 'La Cage aux Folles,' which inspired the Robin Williams film 'The Birdcage.'
. For the second time in his career, White will play the starring role of club owner and drag queen Albin Mougeotte. It's a full-circle moment for White, who will celebrate his 26th drag anniversary the same month. We chatted with him to hear more about his start in drag, how he identifies with Albin, and why works likeGrowing up as a pastor's son in Curwensville, Pennsylvania, White sought out opportunities to perform wherever he could.
After late nights, White says, he and his Disney colleagues would hit the local Perkins, where he would always order a sweet tea with extra sugar:"One day a friend took out the brown sugar packet that said Dixie Crystals and was like, 'That's a good drag name!' I was like, 'I'll take that!'" With a slight spelling change to avoid copyright infringement, Dixie Krystals was born.
"That resonates with me, because I'm the same way. Do I get concerned for my safety sometimes? Absolutely," he continues."But I'm not going to back down from anything I do, because I believe wholeheartedly in what I'm doing, and I'm not hurting anybody. That's his whole thing." Being able to draw from his own experiences and bring more of himself to the performance has made this production even more special than White's previous turn as Albin.
