THANK YOU!
I couldn't be more grateful for EVERYONE who showed up on 9/18 for Hands Around The Kennedy Center! To be in front of thousands of people who care deeply about not just about performing arts, but for the living memorial to John F. Kennedy and Trump's despicable overreach. Let's keep showing up and let's keep fighting back!

Tara Hoot's Road to 'FAME!'
I was born in the 'High Land' of Indiana, Terre Haute, and spent my formative years in the 'Jewel of East Central Indiana', New Castle! The Hoosier State couldn't contain my glamour, so off to the East Coast I went, landing with a thud in Washington, DC! I'm a kind and campy drag queen entertainer and I can't wait to see you soon!
