Rainbow Alliance will host their ninth annual Drag Show, where men will dress up as “drag queens” and perform a lip-synched routine to a song of their choosing.
The Drag Show will take place on Friday April 5 at 8 p.m. in the Apollo Room. Tickets are $7 for presale and $10 at the door.
The proceeds of this event will go to the Rainbow Alliance Scholarship Fund.
This year’s event will feature a special performance by Manila Luzon from “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
“We have never brought in a bigger headliner,” President of Rainbow Alliance Andrea Stojsavljevic said.
Stojsavljevic said Rainbow Alliance hopes to raise at least $3000 at the drag show for the scholarship fund.
Stojsavljevic said the event was smaller and more student orientated in previous years, and now it’s bigger and people expect to attend every year.
Rainbow Alliance has multiple educational programs for the GLBTQA community such as meetings, panels and coming out week.
The Drag Show is something fun for the organization. Students are welcomed to perform in it as well.
“Lots of people watch the show and like it,” Stojsavljevic said. “It is a good feeling seeing all of your hard work pay off. This is the biggest Rainbow Alliance event of the year.”
Stojsavljevic said people may be unfamiliar or have a misunderstanding of what a Drag Show is and miss out on the fun.
“Students should come to this event to have a crazy fun time and enjoy a new experience, if they have never seen it before,” Stojsavljevic said. “Also this is for a good cause to support a student’s education. We hope to raise as much money and make sure everyone has fun with this event.”
