Hello, and welcome to the Scene 2 Seen Podcast! Today, I’m chatting with Johnnie Ingram and Stephen Warren.
The duo have won an Emmy, Peabody Award, Television Academy Honor and three GLAAD Awards as creators and executive producers of the HBO docuseries We’re Here, whose fourth season premiered April 26.
Season 4 follows renowned drag queens Sasha Velour, Priyanka, Jaida Essence Hall and Latrice Royale as they continue the show’s mission of spreading love and connection through the art of drag across small-town America. This season, the queens work with participants in Murfreesboro, Tn, and Tulsa, Ok, and surrounding towns and take an in-depth, immersive look at recent anti-lgbtq+ legislation and the effect it has had on the community.

Since its inception, Max’s We’re Here has had a bold premise: Three real-life drag queens sashay out onto the streets across small-town America to coach ordinary people to perform in drag onstage, and hopefully foster some enlightenment and community along the way. For season four, the series underwent a complete overhaul, seeing the departure of the former trinity of Drag Race alums — Bob the Drag Queen, Shangela and Eureka O’Hara — for the fresh new faces of Jaida Essence Hall, Sasha Velour, Priyanka and Latrice Royale. The Hollywood Reporter caught up with the queenly quartet about their respective journeys on the show and the importance of visibly existing as queer people in conservative towns.
What was your relationship to the show entering filming?

A drag show takes a village, especially those featured in HBO’s docuseries “We’re Here.” Hair, makeup, song selection, choreography, lighting, props, Red Bull — there’s no shortage of things needed to help give life to the art form.
But it all starts with a connection between two people. In the Emmy-winning series, well-known drag queens work with marginalized people in U.S. towns that don’t often embrace inclusivity. The queens help participants build a drag persona. Then, as a final send-off, the participants perform for their community, celebrating what often isolates them.
“It always comes down to the drag mom and the drag kid putting their heads together and figuring out what feels right and how to pull it off with the tools we have,” says Season 4 co-host Sasha Velour. “Every single number that we did on the show was a totally new process. It was like reinventing the wheel every time,...

Since Stephen Warren and Johnnie Ingram created the series in 2020, along with the help of showrunner Peter LoGreco, We’re Here has won four Emmys and shined a light on the drag and LGBTQ communities in small towns around the U.S. With today’s political climate, especially in smaller conservative areas where Pride events are being canceled and hate is being directed towards the drag community, the trio decided that a format change was necessary for the fourth season to really get their message across: “There’s definitely a lot more love out there than hate.”
Season four of We’re Here breaks from the format of the first three seasons a bit, with four new queens – Priyanka, Sasha Velour, Jaida Essence Hall and Latrice Royale – and focusing on only two locations with three episodes in Tennessee and three episodes in Oklahoma.

Nathan Lane came out of the closet to his mother and two brothers at age 21, and says he marched in Pride parades as far back as the late 1970s. But it wasn’t until he started playing gay roles and saw his career explode thanks to Mike Nichols’ 1996 film The Birdcage that he experienced rampant speculation about his sexuality.
“I certainly wish I had been braver at the time,” Lane said while accepting a career achievement trophy during the LGBTQ+ Celebration of Cinema & Television at Fairmont Century Plaza on Friday. “Like when Oprah Winfrey on her show asked me why I was so good at all that girly stuff in The Birdcage. If I could go back in time, the answer I wish I had given is: The reason I’m good at all that stuff is because I’m a wonderful actor but if you’re asking me if I’m gay,...

The premise of the drag makeover show “We’re Here” is that queer liberation hasn’t extended as far as it could. For three seasons, a group of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alumni have traveled to small towns throughout the country, helping members of the local LGBTQ community assert their identity and visibility through gender-bending performances. But even a project that deliberately targets places where gay and trans people might feel cut off from a sense of camaraderie — many locations are scattered throughout the South and Midwest, with occasional detours to California and Hawai’i — didn’t anticipate their own art form coming under such intense public scrutiny.
“I would never have predicted that, four seasons later, it’s actually harder to be out and proud,” Priyanka says in last month’s premiere. The “Canada’s Drag Race” winner is one of several new faces this season, which bids farewell to Bob the Drag Queen,...

Ross Matthews wasn’t three words into his opening monologue at the 35th annual GLAAD Awards in New York City Saturday evening when a protester stood up from the audience to shout, “GLAAD is complicit in genocide.” The lone pro-Palestine advocate, blanketed by a wide-eyed room who let out a few jeers — “Who are you, you weirdo?” one donor shouted — was slowly, if not ceremoniously escorted from the room before she gave a final jab: “And so are all of you.”
“Thank you for your free speech. I’m so glad you have freedom,” Matthews, the evening’s host, said from the stage in an awkward attempt to recognize the protester. “Well, that was uncomfy for all of us, but we have to fight for everyone’s rights. Thank you for my opener,” he moved on, back on his feet.

Normally logistical issues like space rentals and permitting are meant to be invisible to the audience, left in the furthest background of any TV show. But Season 4 of “We’re Here” is as much about the struggles of making the series as it is about the drag performances the show’s queens put on in different parts of the United States. The HBO series not only introduced a new cast of queens this year but changed its filming approach so that it could go where it was needed most: the states imposing drag bans and making the pursuit of happiness difficult for their own LGBTQ communities.
The biggest shift, according to showrunner, director, and executive producer Peter LoGreco, was the amount of time that “We’re Here” spent in a given location. In past seasons, the series moved from state to state for each episode. But given how legislatively hostile the environments...

Season 4 of “We’re Here” sees new hosts Priyanka, Sasha Velour, Latrice Royale and Jaida Essence Hall travelling to red states Tennessee and Oklahoma, where safety had become a concern at times because of anti-lgbtq protests and threats. “It was frightening sometimes,” Jaida told me Wednesday night at the season premiere screening and party at the Avalon Hollywood. “It was eye-opening, imagining other people like myself who have to live in those spaces and see that every day. It’s just heartbreaking.”
Series co-creator Steve Warren said, “It’s surreal we had to think about our security. We are living in 2024. Ten years ago we were so hopeful. Marriage equality had just passed. We were living in a space where we thought we’re not going to have to fight the old battles.”
Even so, the new season continues to help its participants — and cast and crew, for that matter — heal.

I have to admit that going into the opening episode of this season of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars I was quite surprised by the selection of queens asked to return to the werk-room. Don’t get me wrong every single one of the queens are extremely talented but some of these were not obvious choices or necessarily queens I would invite if I was in charge of casting. Unlike previous seasons there are not a lot of queens who have made it to the top four/three on their original seasons in fact there are quite a few queens in this iteration of all-stars who were eliminated first!
The first queen returning to our screens is the blessed and highly-favoured, gap-tooth icon Heidi N Closet from season twelve. This fan-favourite queen has been extremely busy recently with her podcast Hall and Closet (with co-star and season twelve winner...

Raja goes as far to say that Anetra is Sasha’s “only threat.” Despite seeing them as the only ones with a chance to win, Raja says that they are a great final four because they’re “very all powerful in their own way” because of their abilities and stories.

Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Bianca Del Rio recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s thirteenth episode, Naomi Smalls returns to the recap show as a two-time makeover challenge winner herself. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap of episode 13, both Naomi and Bianca say that they expected one of the twins to make the top five instead of the five that actually made it to this episode. Naomi said that Sugar is great at comedic timing, but Spice is more polished in her looks and so either could have been the one to make it this far. Like other queens before her, Naomi also took offense to queens like Luxx Noir London and Loosey Laduca being so pressed about their placements, especially Loosey trying to count mini challenge wins in her record.

Each week on “The Pit Stop,” Bianca Del Rio recaps the latest episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 alongside a guest host. Following Friday’s twelfth episode, Laganja Estranja and Bianca start a rumor about a never-aired lip sync between the two of them on season 6, among other things. Watch the full episode above via the official RuPaul’s Drag Race channel on YouTube.
In their recap of episode 12, Laganja names Mistress Isabelle Brooks and Luxx Noir London as her two faves of the season, though she likes all of the top six. Bianca liked that for once her guest didn’t name Sasha Colby as her favorite, though admittedly they both are rooting for her. One thing Laganja and Bianca are tired of hearing from the girls is their “in my __ era” tag line that they say has been run in to the ground by this point. On that topic,...

As anti-drag and anti-trans legislation sweeps the country, Emmy-winning TV host RuPaul used his platform to shine a light on the issues. The RuPaul’s Drag Race icon called out the “stunt queens” in Congress and in state and local governments across the nation who are working to criminalize many aspects of LGBTQ life.

In March 2023, Tennessee passed the first law in the nation limiting “adult cabaret entertainment.” By the law’s categorization, “any performance “male or female impersonators” are banned from performing anywhere in public where minors could see their performance. As a result, drag performers are now categorized as sex workers, and must get exotic dance licenses, which puts the liquor licenses of venues that host drag events in jeopardy.
The law’s vague wording also threatens the daily life of transgender people, as...

In their recap of episode 11, Plastique is not shy about her dislike for Salina EsTitties, saying she doesn’t deserve to have survived three lip syncs and feels the “execution is just not there” on the runway.

RuPaul has spoken out against the passing of an anti-drag bill in Tennessee.
Last week, Tennessee became the first state in the country to effectively ban public drag performances and drag shows for children.
In a video post on the official RuPaul’s Drag Race Twitter on Wenesday (8 March) night, RuPaul shared a message about the importance of voting amid the clamp down on gender expression.
Wearing a pink suit and leopard-print shirt while stood against an American flag, RuPaul began the speech with a quote from Drag Race star Jaida Essence Hall.
“‘Hey, look over there!’” he said. “A classic distraction technique. Distracting us away from the real issues that they were voted into office to focus on. Jobs, healthcare, keeping our children safe from harm at their own school.
“But we know that bullies are incompetent at solving real issues. They look for easy targets so they can...
