For the past 19 years, San Francisco Drag Laureate D’Arcy Drollinger has been assembling her fellow drag queens for cheesecake and spicy jokes for her show “The Golden Girls Live: The Christmas Episodes.”

Drollinger plays the sweet and ditzy Rose Nylund in this stage parody of the iconic sitcom. And this year, the girls have moved on up to a larger venue – the Curran Theater in San Francisco.

This interview was co-produced by Porfiro Rangel.
