Upcoming Drag Show 2015

On Friday, April 17, for the very first time in Linn-Benton history, there will be a drag show held in the Russell Tripp Center on campus.


Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m. At the door tickets for students cost $5 and general admission is $6.


The LB Drag Show is hosted by LBCC student Kamran Mirza and OSU student Lucielle S. Balls.


“The show will be interactive, a bit raunchy and fabulous,” said Mirza.


Audience members are encouraged to show their appreciation for the performers with tips. Feel free to walk down to the stage and place money on the stage.


Performances will be a variety of dancers, poets and singers. Among the performers, there are both first-timers and experienced queens and kings. Every performer has volunteered their time to entertain.


“Performance is one part technique and three parts heart. If you have the drive to perform then you will find the way to do it,” said Balls.


Lex Porter, former RoadRunner and current OSU student, will be performing under the stage name “Carmen Sutra” and current RoadRunner Kamran Mirza will be performing under the stage name “Miss Dharma Prada MacPherson.” Twenty others will join.


The show is interactive and the audience will get a chance to ask the performers questions. There will also be a 50/50 raffle where a lucky audience member will win half the funds raised for the show. The funds raised are for the GSA, the Gender Sexuality Alliance club.


Everyone is welcome to the show. Come one come all and enjoy.
