As Connecticut’s premier theater drag queen and illusionist, Summer is known for her Broadway-quality costumes, showstopping performances, live singing, comedic timing, and her amazing event-hosting skills. Her hosting duties include bachelorette parties, anniversary celebrations, weddings, Pride events, drag brunches, dinners, and birthday parties for all ages. She performs throughout New Haven and Hartford counties, NYC, Florida, and everywhere in between!
Summer is the first male actor honored to play the role of Dorothy in a licensed production of The Wizard of Oz. Her most notable work has been with her own theatrical production company, Summer Orlando Productions. Summer tours throughout the country performing her drag stage parodies and professionally impersonating Judy Garland, Bette Midler, Cher, Dolly Parton, Cyndi Lauper, Liza Minnelli, and other celebrities. She was handpicked by the producers of the movie Judy to be their meet-and-greet Judy Garland look-alike on June 30, 2019, for WorldPride in New York City.
Summer is the producer, creator of her stage tribute show Hocus Pocus Live. Her impersonation of Winifred Sanderson received so much attention that she was chosen by Disney to appear in Hocus Pocus 2. Summer is one of the first drag performers tapped by TGI Fridays to start its first monthly drag cabaret event, hosted with her business partner Barbra Joan Streetsand. In her spare time, she teaches choreography and owns a children's theater, hoping to inspire kids to explore the wonderful and magical world of theater.
