Drag isn't just about glitter and glamour—it's about giving people permission to be their truest selves. That's the message Santa Maria performer Nova Cane brings to every show, especially during June Pride.

Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the scene, shows like Cane's offer a chance to witness art that's both personal and powerful. It's a beautiful reminder that Santa Maria's community is richer when everyone feels free to shine.
