SPACE QUEEN

Space Queen is a one-person sci-fi drag musical created and performed by queer artist Aaron Nickol (aka Shelita Cox) and produced by Drag Sunday Productions. Blending original synth-based music, spoken word, and theatrical performance, the show imagines a distant future where queer stories have been erased—and one performer dares to bring them back.

Through live vocals, narrative world-building, and embodied resistance, Space Queen explores queer survival, ancestral memory, and the radical power of claiming space.

Ideal for audiences drawn to queer theatre, drag artistry, futurist performance, and LGBTQ+ storytelling, this is a musical about what it means to remember—and what happens when the erased return to speak.

No latecomers after the show begins.
