ABOUT SWITCH N' PLAY

Switch N' Play (SNP) is a Brooklyn-born, New York-based drag alliance committed to entertaining its audiences with an eclectic repertoire of dance and theatrical numbers. Queer in every sense of the word, SNP spans the gender spectrum in life and on stage. Established in January 2006, SNP hopes to enliven the drag community of New York by performing with a diverse group of queer performance artists: drag kings and queens, burlesque performers, poets, musicians, and visual artists. We have had the pleasure of participating in an array of events, including Brooklyn Pride, IDKE 8 and 9, the Trans/Art Festival at Wow Cafe Theater, Welfare Warriors Speak Out, NY School of Visual Arts Out Week and LIGALY's Gender Outreach Festival.

In 2008, SNP was awarded "Best Performance" at the Heritage of Pride Fest and and they were voted "Best Drag Kings" by GO magazine readers in both 2009 and 2010.

Every other month, SNP hosts an Open Drag Night at Outpost Lounge in Brooklyn. The Open Drag Nights were created to encourage a safe space for drag, burlesque and other gender-based performance by people of all levels of experience. In the past, SNP has used their Open Drag Nights to raise money for local nonprofits such as Right Rides, Hope Veterinary Clinic and FIERCE.

SNP is: Bianca Dagga, Jack Kelly, Jonathan Bitchman, K.James, Manny Mango, Maximum Satisfaction and Peter Bigs.
