Sex kitten.

World-class dancer.

International runway model.

These are just a FEW of the phrases that have NEVER been used to describe May O'Nays.

You found me!  I’m so glad you’re here. 

My name is May O’Nays, and I’m proud to be Louisville’s third favorite drag queen (thank you Leo Favorites!). I love taking drag into the community and into places that don’t typically see this art form.  You can find me teaching cooking, crafting, and gardening all around Louisville, Kentucky, and the Midwest

Here in my cozy online corner, I’m all about giving urban homesteading a fabulous twist. Homesteading, to me, is about empowering ourselves with the skills to create sustainable, soulful homes and lives. For me, this means a commitment to gardening, cooking, DIYing, and producing art.  “Producing art?!” You may be thinking,  “That’s not homesteading.”  

Au Contraire!  Homesteading is about caring for the whole home and body - and art feeds the soul and fills the home.

The art that fills my soul is a love of creating things as well as acting and singing. My first two one-woman shows, co-written with Eric Sharp, won best cabaret in Louisville in 2022 and 2023 from the BroadwayWorld Awards. My latest one-woman show, “Won’t You Be My May-Bor?” centered on the work of Mister Rogers and was an immersive experience that included the audience hosted by Actors Theatre of Louisville.  

It has been my lifelong dream to join the ranks of the home-making greats: Martha Stewart, Ina Garten, Nigella Lawson, and Amy Sedaris.  

And it’s only a matter of time because, like any delicious sandwich, a dollop of May O’Nays makes everything better.

If you have a gig out in the community you’d love a queen at but have thought, “There’s no way a drag queen would want to do this,” just holler!  I just might be your Martha!
