Splits and Schitt's Creek references. Glitter and Lady Gaga. Thickly powdered cheekbones, fierce dance routines, and an ode to ballroom that had the audience cheering as they learned the history of an era through movement. 

Shaking off a years-long pandemic slumber, the  Yale Dragaret returned to New Haven last weekend for a two-night celebration of drag. On Friday, photographer Linda-Cristal Young attended the event as several New Haven queens took the stage by storm. Here is her photo diary of than night.
