About the Chicago Kings and the end of an era:

After nearly five years and almost 200 appearances across the nation, The Chicago Kings, Chicago's premier drag king troupe, is taking its final bow as a membership-based organization. With a smirk beneath their 'staches and a tear in their eyes, this tight group of 30+ performers has chosen to part ways in search of new adventures. Individual kings will undoubtedly still be seen hamming it up on stages near and far, and Bloody Mary Productions (the production company behind the Chicago Kings events) will still be producing drag-focused events about town.
