Help Kelly Fornia Productions to SLAY another day

Kelly Fornia is a Wellington based drag queen who is the sole operator/owner of Kelly Fornia Productions, a Wellington drag production organisation, one of many businesses that has been affected by COVID-19.

Kelly has been producing drag shows in Wellington since 2017, whether they be at your local clubs, theaters or having the show brought to you, Kelly works hard to make sure our local drag community gets the spotlight and recognition it deserves. However sadly due to COVID-19, Kelly has lost multiple productions this year, whether that be shows she was performing in or producing. Now with this second wave of COVID, she has again lost productions or had to frantically reschedule and take losses to make them work.

The money Kelly would make from these productions would help fund further productions, more so in particular the upcoming shows later this year that haven't had the financial push they would of had if COVID-19 didn't cancel so many shows. The funds from these productions would of gone to promoting the future shows to wider audiences, assisting with venue hires, deposits, lighting & sound, costuming, performer costs and advance payments that would help make the shows as fierce and stunning as possible.

Kelly: 'This is weird to write because, i'm usually the one doing the fundraising for others, i'd never think i'd be fundraising for myself haha. It took 20+ back and forths to decide to do this, but sadly even Beyonce needs to turn for help at some point. My number one goal is and will always be to help put Wellington drag on the map and showcase the incredible diversity and variety of Wellington's drag talent. But sadly due to COVID-19, the funds i would have to do this have been seriously affected, but no pandemic is going to keep me down for long <3'

With your help, Kelly Fornia Productions will be able to get back on track and be sure to keep bringing you drag shows that will continue to snatch wig, slay hearts and show how Wellington's drag scene is one of the fiercest in the world.
