To Proudly Go in NY Times: Celebrating Drag Culture in NYC

We are thrilled, honored, and absolutely beam-up ecstatic to share that To Proudly Go was featured in The New York Times article “On the Hunt for 24 Hours of Drag in N.Y.C.” — a vibrant look at the dynamic drag performance scene across New York City.

This beautiful piece highlights how drag shows — from cabaret classics to courageous community events — continue to be an essential expression of joy, identity, and creative defiance in our city’s cultural tapestry.

Where To Proudly Go Fits In

Our beloved Trek’tastic cast and performances were included among the standouts in NYC’s thriving drag landscape — bringing laughter, fandom, interactivity, and heartfelt homage to Star Trek and queer creativity to stages throughout the boroughs. Being recognized alongside so many incredible performers means the world to our crew and community.

From happy-hour trivia and giveaways to unforgettable drag sets packed with wit, camp, and soul — this feature captures how To Proudly Go blends geek culture with queer performance art in ways that surprise, delight, and celebrate our collective spirit.

Why This Matters

Drag has always been more than entertainment — it’s a living artform that pushes boundaries, builds community, and invites everyone to claim joy on their own terms. Being part of a feature that underscores this in one of the world’s most esteemed publications is not just an honor for us — it’s a win for community visibility and queer creative expression.

We’re so grateful to the performers, crew, fans, venue partners, and everyone who has shown up with hearts wide open. This recognition reflects your energy just as much as ours.

Thank you, New York Times. Thank you, NYC. And thank you — to every one of you — for continuing to proudly go where joy lives.
