Rebecca Mae (aka Tom Widdowson) has been performing professionally for three years. From hosting drag brunches at Bourbon Barrel to performing at the Zone Dance Club, there was no shortage of entertainment provided by her and other Erie queens to Erie s LGBTQIA+ community. The story hasn t been the same since Rebecca s last event in early 2020 at Resolution Night Club.
As Miss Erie 2019, a title Rebecca still holds two years later, not being able to crown her successor is one item on a long list of pandemic-induced frustrations she s experienced.
