MISS BLANCHE TELLS IT ALL

Lee is the twenty-something female impersonator who graces the small stage at the Golden Lantern, an old bar – a joint – in the French Quarter of New Orleans. As it often has in the past, the small crowd comes out to enjoy Lee’s “Miss Blanche Tells All” – a drag show that has never disappointed until perhaps on this unforgettable night.  Lee’s story is not an unusual one on the surface. He grew up in the 1960s with an abusive alcoholic father and a doting mother who gave him all her attention encouraging her son’s interest in the contents of a mysterious trunk – the trunk now onstage and, perhaps, belonging to someone close to his family.
