Pink Party Dance and Drag Show: Saturday night in Fairbanks
Drag queens, door prizes, and a silent auction will be featured at the Pink Party Dance and Drag Show this Saturday evening in Fairbanks. All proceeds will benefit Dance Theatre Fairbanks (DTF) a local non-profit studio.
As written up by Amy Nordrum for Downtown Association Fairbanks,
Drag queens working for charity on Saturday, August 20th will happily accept your donations and photo requests at a pink carpet fundraiser in the former firehouse studios of Dance Theatre Fairbanks (DTF).
“You’re going to see over-the-top dresses and lots of heavy makeup,: says Jay Howe, Ensemble Co-Director and charitable queen. He adds, with emphasis, “It IS appropriate to tip a drag queen.”
Why pink? DTF staff often jokes about how students love dressing in “pretty pink recital costumes” for performances, Jay explains, and this show needed a theme to make it fun and engaging. Wearing the color will get you in the doors for $5 less, and helps demonstrate your support.
Thus- The Pink Party.
“When you come in, everyone’s wearing pink,” Jay describes. “It’s an opportunity to support it visually.”
(Read the rest of the story at the Downtown Association Fairbanks website.)
As a bonus, The Safety Dancers — a dance group made up of instructors and students affiliated with DTF — will buy your first drink at the beer and wine bar! The Safety Dancers will also be among performers, as will the Dance Revolution Crew, described as “a few brave parents of DTF students…busting out hiphop moves” and a burlesque troupe called Crazy Shakes.
This event is only for 21 and up, ID is required! DJ and Dancing after. Come support a great cause and have a great time!
- Time/date: Saturday, August 20; doors open at 8:30 PM, performance starts at 10:00 PM going to midnight
- Cost of admission: $15 at the door, $10 if you come in pink! $25 VIP seating (first come first serve)
- Location: Edna Wise Theater (DTF Studios) , 656 Seventh Ave, Fairbanks (see map)
