DRAG STORY HOUR

Drag Story Hour comes to the Brooklyn Children’s Museum as a live, in-person reading event for young audiences. A drag performer leads picture books and group participation, using costume and character to hold attention and frame the stories. In New York City, the format has become a recognizable part of public-library and museum programming, tied to wider debates about who gets to speak in children’s spaces. The strongest moments tend to be the simplest: language, listening, and a room learning how to share attention.
