The year 1966, gender crosschangers and homophiles from around the country are gathering inside a filthy, decrepit theater in New York's crime-ridden East Village for "NightGowns" -- Miss Xandra's ALL-DRAG pageant.

Switch n’ Play is a queer performance collective that stages fabulous subversive drag and burlesque shows. The ensemble explodes traditional gender roles, pushing the limits of what drag and burlesque can be. But more than that, they are a tight-knit family of outsiders who welcome queer audiences into their world and create a safe, tantalizing space where everyone can be themselves. The film introduces diverse members of the collective and sprinkles in a generous helping of delicious live performances.
