Drag Queen Story Hour: Southern Maryland
Event Information
Description
Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) is just what it sounds like—drag queens reading stories to children in libraries, schools, and bookstores. DQSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models. In spaces like this, kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where people can present as they wish, where dress up is real/
At 2:00 we will host a story time for ages 3-8. Our queen will read a selection of stories and then we will have some fun activities.
At 3:00 we will host a drag queen make up tutorial for tweens and teens.
Admission is free, we ask that you RSVP so we can get an accurate count to make sure we have enough supplies.

Organizer Southern Maryland Area Secular Humanists (SMASH)
Organizer of Drag Queen Story Hour: Southern Maryland
The Southern Maryland Area Secular Humanists (SMASH) is a Chapter of the Washington Area Secular Humanists, whose focus is to build a sense of community for non-believers in Southern Maryland through discussion groups, lectures, social activities and family-friendly events, as well as promoting a spirit of volunteerism and giving back to the community. SMASH works to promote a progressive community best engendered by the motto “We Believe in Good”.
The Washington Area Secular Humanists (WASH) was incorporated in 1989 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) educational organization in Maryland. Our purpose is to promote scientific literacy and critical thinking, to provide a forum for humanists and others to explore humanist principles and how they relate to all aspects of human experience, and to study the significance of humanism throughout history. Secular humanists are distinguished by an emphasis on scientific methods of knowing, separation of church and state, and a commitment to the pursuit of humanist goals outside religious frameworks.
