GLACE CHASE

Glace Chase

Glace Chase is a multiple award winning “trans-queen” / performer / writer / comedienne / bon vivant. Described as “delightfully satanic” by Time Out NY, Glace’s work defies easy categorisation & spans disciplines. Glace created the world’s first Drag Queen Tour Guide business – Dream Queen Tours – named “Best Alternative Tour” by the International Travel & Hospitality Awards and she performs nightly across NYC in an array of comedy & storytelling shows.

As a playwright Glace has won two Griffin Awards and the Queensland Premier’s Literary Award, and has been shortlisted for almost every playwriting award in Australia. Glace is set to play the title role in her new play Triple X at both the Queensland Theatre Company and Sydney Theatre Company. Triple X is a finalist in the 2021 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. It has also been shortlisted for the Nick Enright Prize for playwriting.

Glace is currently under commission by Sydney Theatre Company for Drag County. Other plays include Whore, A Hoax, Oranges & Lemons, GULL or the lamentable comedie called love (hereto known as the Trannies’ Revenge) and Nobody’s Girl.

Her plays have appeared at Griffin Theatre, Belvoir St Theatre, La Boite, The Public Theatre NYC and NJ Rep.

Random career highlights include: signing NDAs for corporate cruises in the Caribbean & Italy; making an audience member cry at her weekly improv comedy night; one hundred 5-star reviews on Trip Advisor; and the annual Bushwig festival.

We acknowledge that we live and create on unceded lands. We pay our respects to the First Peoples of Australia, and to their elders past, present and future.
