Sometimes, love is a drag – a drag show that is! Join the region’s best drag performers for a special February show at the Varsity on Friday, Feb. 10. Join emcee and performer Blanche DuBois, the Godmother of drag in Southern Illinois. Regular featured performers are Jodie Santana, Faim Lee Jewls, Leiyana Santana, Holly Haliwell and Idina Rimes, who will also be the evening’s hostess.
The show starts at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 10. Doors and the Varsity Bar open at 6.
This is an all-ages show, and the venue 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.
Tickets are $10 for adults or $5 for students with ID. They are available in advance at Eventbrite (see link). Tickets are not available in advance at the venue but will be available on the night of the show when doors open at 6. Be sure to get tickets early; these shows almost always sell out.
Come early and enjoy special cocktails at the bar in the company of Idina and the Varsity staff.
