often twisted take on 1970s TV nostalgia, landed their first gig

other rock musicals, The Possession of Mrs. Jones and Suburbia 3000.

Elephants, Scalpel! and Shit & Champagne, in which he also starred.

producing and directing live parodies of television sitcoms with long
time friend and drag star, Heklina. After the venue they had been

program created by Drollinger in 2011 in San Francisco, California.
Drollinger taught the first class at the Academy of Ballet on August

good workout, both physically and mentally." Since then, Sexitude
classes have happened in local San Francisco area dance schools such
as Dance Mission, City Dance and ODC. As a performance group, Sexitude
has participated in number of performances in the San Francisco Area,
including Daytime Realness at El Rio, the Castro Theatre, and the Main
