Lane Wagner, stage name Natasha Noir Nightly, is interviewed by Sarah Steiner as a part of the Gender and Sexuality Oral History project. Wagner, who identifies as a pansexual, cisgender male, is a bearded drag queen and part of the drag family House Acrylic. Wagner lives in Asheville and has performed as Nightly at local venues such as O.Henry’s, Ole Shakey’s, The Odditorium, Scandals, The Paper Mill Lounge and Theatre, and UNC-Asheville’s Drag Ball. Nightly was crowned Mx Blue Ridge Pride in 2018. The interview covers House Acrylic, the dynamics of drag families, drag as a form of activism, and thoughts on outlying forms of drag. Nightly uses drag as a platform to advocate for safe spaces, consent, and health education. Off stage, Wagner works with community members such as Tranzmission and the Health and Human Services Department to address these same issues. Wagner dances professionally for the Asheville Ballet. Includes additional photographs of Lane Wagner in and out of drag.
