Description

MUSIC, DANCING, COMEDY, STORIES AND GAMES Celebrate the return of spring with the Varsity’s latest all-ages drag variety show, Spring Into Drag. This month, the show will be on Saturday, April 16 at 7 p.m. Doors and the Varsity Bar open at 6. In addition to the regular fare of lip-synching, comedy and dancing, we’ll be adding a multitude of games, contests, scavenger hunts and special celebrations, all with prizes. Southern Illinois’ Pride Queen and the godmother of Carbondale’s drag scene Blanche DuBois is the evening’s emcee, and she’ll also perform. Joining Blanche will be Jodie Santana, Faim Lee Jewls, Leiyana Santana and Leimomi. Christina Garnette will be the evening’s hostess. This is an all-ages show, and the Varsity welcomes young people; however, the show can be on the risqué side, and those 17 and younger must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The show begins at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 16. Tickets are $10 for adults or $5 for students with ID. They are available in advance at Eventbrite. Tickets are not available in advance at the venue but will be available there on the night of the show, when doors and the Varsity Bar open at 6. The Varsity advises that tickets are purchased in advance, as the shows usually sell out before the performance. Come early and enjoy special cocktails at the bar in the company of Christina and the Varsity staff.
