IN THE STUDIO WITH Sister Indica, Audio Dramatist

“We’re the court jester. We’re allowed to say things that someone else would not get away with.”

Sister Indica is the writer, producer, director and music composer for the audio drama “Blazed All Our Lives.” It’s a surrealistic soap opera with a cast of drag queens, drag kings and professional audio actors: “Dynasty” meets “The Golden Girls,” as if filtered through John Waters’ twisted brain. Indica’s comedy aims to be as biting and black as possible, illuminating the dark corners of human relationships through a torrent of jokes. We talked about her production process, the power of drag as a medium for truth telling and where drag fits in American culture today.
