Half-prepped before a dressing room mirror in the back of a bustling city gay bar, Russell, an actor turned drag queen, struggling to find his voice, is given a wrenching ultimatum. Overcome by indecision, he escapes to his grandmother’s house in the country. There he finds sardonic Margaret in steep decline. In a perfect, if precarious, solution for both of them, he moves in to protect her from her greatest fear—the local nursing home. Featuring the brilliant Cloris Leachman in her final starring role before her death in 2021, “Jump Darling” pairs love of drag with an aging iconic diva to ask the questions about what inspires us to carry on.
