A Season of Diverse Performances: From Drag Queens to Symphonic Tributes

The Agnes Etherington Art Centre has kicked off the season with a variety of engaging events, ranging from art exhibitions to captivating performances that cater to diverse audiences. Although the art center had launched its final exhibitions in December, the calendar of events has extended beyond visual arts into exciting in-person performances this week.

Glitz and Glamour: The Drag Pageant Spectacular

One of the standout events is the 'Historical Costume Ball Drag Show Pageant Spectacular' slated for Thursday. It is an event where the vibrancy of drag culture is celebrated with enthusiasm and flair. Featuring popular drag personalities such as Dare de LaFemme, Tyffanie Morgan, and Rowena Whey, this event merges the world of historical fashion with the contemporary excitement of drag performance, set against the backdrop of the Agnes' Dress Collection.

Puppetry and Song: A Playful Fundraiser

In addition to the drag show, the weekend offers a unique fusion of puppetry, music, and magic through the 'Song House Cabaret.' Organized as a fundraiser for Birdbone Theatre's upcoming production, it promises an eclectic experience for those seeking novel entertainment.
