19th Annual Come Out Show: Artistic Directions
7 pm
For 19 years Sinatra DeVine Productions has been producing show-stopping variety shows highlighting up-and-coming Drag Queen performances in celebration of National Coming Out Day. This show has always been on the cutting edge when “drag” was only considered taboo. Our last show was in 2016, and fans and supporters have been “aching” to be part of that fabulously dragalicious experience once more. Chaz Malibu and Fontana DeVine will again serve as your hosts with the most. Come see past entertainers and newcomers, and remember and celebrate the lives of those whom we have lost. Take out your boa, crowns, high heels, and wigs…the higher the better. See you for this one-night-only event!
