After a well-received run in Quebec, drag queens will storm the National Arts Centre this week when Changing Room takes over the French stage.

The cabaret, written by Alexandre Fecteau, is based on real stories from fabulous female impersonators.

This lively documentary piece aims to dissect questions of identity and acceptance.

Changing Room stars Frédérique Bradet, Anne-Marie Côté and Martin Perreault.
