LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Tickets for the annual Best in Drag Show charity fundraising event are now on sale. The show returns to the Orpheum Theatre on October 1st, 2023. Curtains rise at 7:00 p.m.
Best in Drag Show is a beauty pageant parody in which six contestants compete in drag in all the customary beauty pageant categories: evening gown, question and answer, talent, and swimsuit.
The show is produced by a team of volunteers who donate their time to support the Alliance for Housing & Healing’s long-running efforts to provide essential housing and support services to people living with HIV/AIDS in LA County.
Best in Drag Show began in 1989 as the “Battle for the Tiara”—a small, annual party and AIDS fundraising event created by Alexis Pittman. Filled with outlandish characters, over-the-top performances, elaborate costumes and celebrity judges, Best in Drag Show embodies the ideals of humor, love, and dedication, continuing the work started all those years ago in a small West Hollywood apartment.
Tickets are now on sale at http://www.bestindragshow.com/tix. More information on Best in Drag Show can be found at http://www.bestindragshow.com.
