6 Rules/Norms for Attending a Drag Show
*Tip the performers (it's customary to tip with $1 bills if you enjoy the show)
*Show your love for all performers! (cheer, clap, stomp your feet...let the performers hear you)
*Don't become the show (never get on stage uninvited and avoid walking in front of the stage during the performance)
*Be prepared for performers to interact with you (especially if you're near the stage or runway)
*Keep your hands to yourself (don't initiate physical contact with a performer)
Have fun!
