WHAT: THE SHOW SCHEDULE
Doors at 7pm
Show starts at 7:30
Part 1 will be a pageant show where you can dress to express and strut your stuff and answer a few short interview questions (no "World Peace" answers allowed!).
Part 2 will be a talent show where you will have a chance to wow the judges with your creative expression.
Judges will announce the winner and award prizes! :-)
Dance Party begins around 10pm
We'll bid you all a fond farewell at 11pm
WHY: THE INSPIRATION!
The ecstatic dance community AND the LGBTQ+ community have been keeping Austin weird for decades and recent laws reminded us that it's important to get out there and remind everyone to be creative, expressed and joyful!
We can't wait to see our communities' wild and quirky outfits and talents, and most of all celebrate showing up as ourselves fully expressed in love and acceptance!
All proceeds from the show will be donated to organizations in the Austin area that are supporting and empowering the LGBTQ community.
