Recent videos of Tara in the news!

Check me out on WUSA9 at a recent protest!

Thanks to the orgs who sponosred this event! Claudia Jones School,    Free DC, and more!

Was grateful to be part of the NBC4 Washington segment regarding the Kennedy Center.

The recent fallout from unfortunate changes at the Kennedy Center. 

Reuters also covered the protest!

A quick little shot of Tara Hoot in here as well! You also see DC drag LEGEND Pussy Noir at the mic, but they didn't identify her. She was the first drag artist to have a residency at the Kennedy Center and, I believe, the first drag artist to performer there! 

Just finished at our first Story Time Family Show with Tara Hoot! I cried the whole time with my partner! You are a beautiful person and after a week like this one, I could not think of a better therapy session than this. Thank you!

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!

WANT TO HOST AN EVENT?

 I do private and corporate and private events, too! Want to have a trivia contest? A special birthday?! How about a little cooking demonstration? Bingo? Game Night!? Holiday party hostess? I'd love to help you have fun!
