Claire Pate, 22, education senior at Texas State University. “This was my first drag show and I loved it. The atmosphere is so transparent and authentic. Hocus Pocus is my all-time favorite Halloween movie, so I knew I would love this. I can definitely see myself going to more in the future.”
Winifred Sanderson’s spell book was recreated for this parody. The book is almost identical to the original movie.
The Sanderson Sisters were played by Cherry Poppins, Kristi Waters and Natasha Bendnfeel. The drag queens are based out of San Antonio, Texas.
When asked what her most difficult part of the journey was, she said, “coming out to my parents that I was gay and that I did drag. I was doing drag for seven years before I ever told my parents. They thought I was a bar-back. I kept my equipment at the bar, so they never knew.”
The coordinators of the drag show, Quynh-Huong Nguyen and Robert Garcia, were in control of the sound board and planning.
The Hocus Pocus Drag Show was hosted by the Office of Student Diversity and Inclusion. Above is The Sanderson Sisters final pose.
Everywhere you looked there was someone Snapchatting or taking pictures of the performance. They shared with us that they only learned this performance in about a week.
The Sanderson Sisters were extremely interactive with the audience. They walked down the aisles and had everyone in attendance clapping and singing along.
Jump splits were the sisters specialty. The crowd reciprocated tremendous feedback during this stunt.
The Sanderson sisters began singing and dancing on stage. Classics were played such as, I Put a Spell on You. They also put their on twist on Look What You Made Me Do by Taylor Swift.
