Curio Theatre is continuing an exploration of gender this season and invites interested and open-minded folks to the Corner Queens Cabaret, a brand new drag cabaret show that kicked off last week on Curio’s Corner Stage (48th and Baltimore). The weekly shows are presented by a group of seven local artists and friends who began meeting once a week a year ago to perform in drag. In an effort to support the artists, Curio has offered them the Corner Stage for a limited time to put on a show.

Performers in the cabaret are not just Drag Queens and Kings; audience members are welcome to sign up to perform in upcoming shows. The Corner Queens Cabaret is designed to “allow a spectrum of artists to get on stage, take a risk, and have a great time.”

To help the audience get into the mood before the show, Curio has partnered with The Gold Standard Café who serves special $20 food platters for two with complimentary wine (you can also order from the menu and BYOB).

Shows run every Monday, except December 23, beginning at 9 p.m. The last show is on March 3, 2014. Admission is $5 cash at the door. For more information, visit: http://www.curiotheatre.org/corner-queens-cabaret.html
