Isaiah Doucet in Drag Heals (2018)
Premiering Friday, April 19th on OUTtv and the OUTtv channel on Amazon and Apple TV. 

Drag Heals is a hybrid stage workshop and documentary TV series that follows six drag artists over a month of workshops to build their own show.  In each workshop, a guest coach joins stage director Tracey Erin Smith in exploring soul-deep story sharing techniques as well as the unique talents and skills required from a drag performer. 

Over the course of the intensive workshops and story crafting, the participants dive deep into their personal lives to unearth lessons learned and bring them back to the audience as a gift.  They are both the pirate and the pirated, the island and treasure.  The resulting stories are emotional and cathartic, both for the drag artists and the audience who share in the experience.

Starring: Tracey Erin Smith, Isaiah Doucet, Callan Forrester, Jerico de Jesus, Anthony Meeks, Dev Nicoll-Ellis

Director: Charlie David

Director of Photography: Nickolaos Stagias

Editors: Danielle Thorn, Samantha Yabut, Adam Seward, Dylan Ntwali

    Wonderful show

    I love the sense of queer community that this show embraces. The cast really comes together from a variety of backgrounds to form a supportive community for each other and it's wonderful to see the vulnerability they each bring to their performances.

    Tracey's workshops truly live up to the title, where the cast is able to open up about deeply personal parts of themselves and dig deep to bring the audience the gift of their performance.

    Wonderful show, and this season continues to bring more interesting and inspiring stories to the stage. Makes me want to go back and watch the previous seasons again.

    Amazing! So Much Fun to Watch!

    Drag Heals is such a pleasure to watch!

    Charlie David does a great job directing, and I enjoyed how interviews of the six participants are interspersed with scenes of them interacting with each other. The creator, Tracey Erin Smith is so creative and supportive. Smith is totally enouraging.

    There's a marvelous range of characters in Season 3. I got very emotional, and several of the participants brought tears to my eyes. What a courageous group! They shared their stories so openly, it was inspiring.

    I love seeing how the cast bonded as the season progressed. They really became a community, supporting each other. There's so much joy in the scenes of them dancing together, it was really fun to watch.

    I hope the other two seasons are available to rent or buy.

    A copy of Drag Heals, season 3 was provided for the purpose of my honest review, all opinions are my own.

    Drag Heals - A Must Watch for Our Times

    I just finished watching the third season of Drag Heals. This season has everything we've come to love from the two previous seasons: an interesting and dynamic cast, a wide range of people, and a lot of heart. The third season is also impacted by the times of COVID. Overall, this continues to be a great series with absolutely amazing storytelling.

    This season Tracey Erin Smith brings together six new aspiring drag queens/kings to put together one-person shows. All of the queens/kings are asked to dig deep into their lives to find moments that made them who they are today. One of the things I absolutely love about Smith is her ability to help all of the queens/kings dig through the surface and get at the real heart of their stories.

    I want to thank the producers for the opportunity to review this series before it was released. Although I am thankful, the views expressed here are mine and mine alone.

    Beautiful Story of the Queer Experience

    This was such a pleasant watch and I'm so glad I got to watch it in advance. The stories were amazing and incredibly touching. I learned a lot about the drag performers and really felt immersed in the queer culture of it all. I think I need to go find seasons one and two now, because this was a heart warming and touching docuseries that really resonated with me. I definitely got up in my feels more than a few times as I watched this beautiful series. I almost teared up watching the final performance to come fruition. If you're looking for a show that will show you the truth and beauty of Drag, then look no further.

    Amazing series

    I got a chance to watch Season 3 early via Gay Romance Reviews and Season 3 is as good as the others. The Border2Border reality shows are the only ones I watch anymore. Instead of making me feel depressed by watching people scheme against each other in manipulated situations, this show gets me emotionally invested in the people involved and I share in their hopes and dreams as they work to become the people they are meant to be. The focus here is on each person digging into their life and creating the drag persona that embodies who they want to be and what they want to share with the world. It encourages the viewer to do that exploration for themselves as well.
