Dinner is the first of four great shows

Submitted by on Friday, 25 September 2009 – 1:13 AMOne Comment

We have four excellent LGBT-related shows this week in Anchorage, one a night from Friday through Monday:

(1) The True Diversity Dinner at the Snow Goose, 7 p.m. on Friday

Not impressed by the Mayor’s no-gays-need-apply “Unity” Dinner with a highly paid GOP-fundraising keynote speaker at the one hotel being boycotted by the unions? Then join us Friday evening with True Diversity speakers and awards, plus music, food and dancing, two blocks down 3rd Avenue at the Snow Goose. Speakers and performers include Assemblywoman Elvi Gray-Jackson, Diane Benson, Shannyn Moore, Steven Alvarez, Reverend Marquita Pierre, and the Yup’ik Dance troupe Masingka. Please support diversity by donating to this event at the True Diversity Dinner web site.

(2) “Hedwig and The Angry Inch” on Saturday, 7 & 11 p.m at Mad Myrna’s

The cult fave “Hedwig” is coming to Anchorage in a live performance starring Atz Lee Kilcher (who opened for his sister’s concert in August) and a full band. The Homer shows were awesome, we can’t wait to see it at Myrna’s. Tickets are $20. Call for reservations (907) 276-9762.

(3) The Imperial Court’s Investitures on Sunday, 6 p.m. at Mad Myrna’s

The ICOAA cordially invites you to Investitures for the 37th Reign, hosted by Denali Emperor 37 Kevin and Aurora Empress 37 Miss MeMe. $10 includes a show with all the current title holders and a buffet. Join the ICOAA and have fun all year.

(4) The Lion Sings Tonight on Monday, 7 p.m. at Mad Myrna’s

“The Lion King” is playing at the Performing Arts Center and the cast will perform a one-night-only cabaret at Mad Myrna’s to benefit the Four A’s and Broadway Cares. Tickets are $20, call (907) 263-2046.
