I had the opportunity to talk to internationally acclaimed drag superstar Courtney Act. We talked about everything from the struggles of packing for the show to the Phoenix bound stop of the International variety show tour: RuPaul's Drag Race: Battle of the Seasons 2016 Extravaganza Tour, and what Phoenicians can expect to see if they buy a ticket for the show Wednesday, April 27, 2016 at 9 PM.
