For more than a century, Calvary Episcopal Church in Louisville, Kentucky, has been known for the breathtaking music that echoes throughout its magnificent sanctuary.

But Friday will mark the first time drag queens will be at the center of it.

Beneath the ornate chandeliers, stunning woodwork and Tiffany stained-glass windows in the 130-year-old church, six drag queens will perform a mix of Gospel music along with a few secular, yet respectful, hits. The house of worship will host “Drag Me to Church: A Gospel Drag Show” on Friday.
