The Queen’s Storytime: Featuring Ida Carolina

Sponsored by Ellipsis Theatre Company

Miss Ida Carolina will read children’s books and pose for pictures after storytime! We’ll also have a coloring page featuring an illustration of Ida for each of our young readers to take home.

Ida Carolina is the (Drag) Queen Elizabeth of the South. A former Miss Blue Ridge Pride and Asheville Sweetheart, she is the current reigning Miss Midwest Comedy Queen.

We believe children should be familiar with all types of humans! Many children express gender fluidity at an early age. Our focus is all about expressing yourself in your own way. We want to create a safe and embracing environment for all attending our storytimes. We hope to teach empathy, compassion, and provide a unconventional positive role model. In play and in everyday life, it’s important for children to feel comfortable and creative!

$5 / adult suggested donation

The book titles will also be for sale/order if kids want their own copy of the books to read. Cash and card accepted.

Please email
Ellipsistheatreavl@gmail.com for more information.
