Donald Trump’s-revamped Kennedy Center announced its upcoming season Monday — and the stage will be packed with drag queens.
The president overthrew the prestigious performing arts center's board of directors in February, taking over as chairman and vowing to rid it of wokeness — including drag performances.
“Just last year, the Kennedy Center featured Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth — THIS WILL STOP,” Trump wrote on Truth Social as he announced the purge of the D.C. venue.
But the upcoming season, announced at a ceremony the president attended, contains a lot of performers in drag, the Daily Beast reported.
Take Mrs. Doubtfire, for example — a tale of a man who dresses as a nanny in order to see his children.
And then there’s Chicago, in which Mary Sunshine’s wig is pulled off to expose things are ‘not always as they appear.” And Moulin Rouge’s Baby Doll is a drag queen.

The choice of shows the center could pick was more limited than normal as many artists have refused to perform there after Trump’s changes.
The Kennedy Center serves as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy. As a cultural institution, it hosts over 2,000 performances and events each year, featuring diverse artistic disciplines like music, theater and dance.
On Monday, he bragged that he had eliminated DEI at the center and “brought back family-friendly programming that will attract large audiences once again.”
