A sold out “Drag Queen Christmas” performance scheduled at the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Dec. 22 sparked concern from some community members over the event’s lack of an age limit. Similar events, if featuring adult-themed content, could be banned or required to have age restrictions if proposed legislation in the Tennessee General Assembly is passed in 2023.

The Knoxville show is one stop on a nationwide tour. The event’s description on the ticketing website states that “parental discretion is advised,” but the description for the next performance in Charleston, South Carolina, scheduled for the following night, says the show is recommended for ages 18 and older, while also noting that children “2 & up” require a ticket for entry.
