For a very long time men dressed as women in theater because women were not allowed to perform.
Drag comes from dressed as girl-an acronym Shakespeare used in the margins of his plays.
I don’t think kids were allowed to attend theater.
These days it is hyper-sexualized grooming targeting kids. It is disgusting, revolting and the parents involved are either naive, stupid or willingly aiding and abetting.
But if all the players were men, wouldn't such an acronym be unnecessary, duplicative and superfluous (Seinfeld lawyer mode: ON)? "The part of Ophelia will be played by Gary (DRAG)."
