Stark Raving Queens liven up last Sunday at Starky’s
Milagros, 5433 NE 30th, milagrosboutique.com)
We gays certainly love our dinner theater. W hat’s not to like? Good food,
drinks and entertainment make for a complete and fun evening. Capitalizing
on this tried and true concept, Starky’s restaurant and bar presents you with
The Stark Raving Queens show.
Held the last Sunday of the month, this queer revue kicks off with dinner
at 5:30 p.m., the main event beginning promptly at 6:45 p.m. There’s no
cover charge but purchase of food and beverage is, o f course, expected, and
the restaurant will accept donations o f non-perishable food items for Esther’s
Pantry, a local food bank for those living with HIV/AIDS.
The Stark Raving Queens show is headlined by Heavenly Bliss, Coco
Burnside and Candi Wrapper— three well-loved and respected veterans of
Portland’s formidable drag scene. But fear you not—this variety show is more
than just drag acts. While there’s lip-syncing aplenty, the show’s impresarios,
Kcleka and Jett Ward, promise to keep the bill fresh and exciting every month
by featuring new themes and special guest stars ranging from live singers to
banjo players. Past talents include New York City’s Ms. Fire Island, Sable
Scities, and Portland queer royalty Empress Fiona Flash Foxx and Emperor
Scotty Boxx.
The Queens have been playing to a packed house so dinner reservations are
highly recommended.
March 27 (last Sunday o f the month), dinner at 5:30 p.m., show at 6:45 p.m.;
Starky’s, 2913 SE Stark St.; no cover hut donations o f non-perishable food items
recommended; 503-230-7980for dinner reservations.
