The Young Actors' Theatre Camp is a three-day, two-night workshop, and it is being marketed as a safe place for campers to'create their own drag personas.' A recent, unspecified donation to the Santa Cruz theater company has enabled them to include a 'Pay What You Can' price point this weekend,' implying that many who want to attend the'very special weekend camp' will be able to do so for free. The camp's inaugural outing is set to begin March 31, and students will learn drag history, participate in character workshops, and come up with performance plans for a final exhibition in front of friends and families, according to the camp's announcement last week. The festival, however, has polarized, and has sparked slew of other drag events taking place around the country, and is also drawing backlash online.
