47-year old suburban telemarketer Ed Popil leaves his job to pursue a career as his drag queen alter ego, 1960's era housewife Mrs. Kasha Davis.

By day, Ed Popil worked as a telemarketer in Rochester, New York for 18 years. By night, he transformed into drag queen Mrs. Kasha Davis, a 1960's era housewife trying to liberate herself from domestic toil through performing at night in secret - an homage to Ed's mother. After seven years of auditioning to compete on RuPaul's Drag Race, Ed Popil was finally cast onto the tv show and thrust into a full-time entertainment career at the late age of 44. Workhorse Queen explores the complexities of reality television's impact on queer performance culture by focusing on the growing divide between members of a small town drag community - those who have been on television, and those who have not.
