YOU GOT IT (THE FABULOUS STUFF)! >>>
TUSH! Burlesque troupe isn't the only group in Olympia stripping. The act of stripping, as well as teasing, "tucking" and performing with costume, music and artistic zeal has just been tapped into by another group - New Queens on the Block. The New Queens has produced shows at the Urban Onion since September, dropping a themed show on Olympia every third Friday of the month. In December, the New Queens added holiday flair to its fabulous affair. In March, the show will geek out to a Comicon theme.
New Queens on the Block is a socially conscious group, targeting monies raised to a different community organization every month. Past charities have been Safeplace and South Puget Sound's LGBTQ scholarship program.
February's show?
Duh. New Queens on the Block presents: The Lupanara: A Burlesque Themed Drag Variety Show Friday at the Onion.
"We wanted to have a platform for a new performers," says Aaron Fury, public relations and stage manager for New Queens. "We wanted to bring new talent and we wanted new queens to have stage experience. And it's a way to help give back to the community."
This month's special Valentine theme is sweet.
"You will see drag from queens and kings, a few fun skits, new challenges for performers and live acts - it's an overall fun experience," says Fury.
