Have you ever taken the subway? Read this.
This evening, we have the season finale of Oral Fixation, the storytelling series at the McKinney Avenue Contemporary. The theme is “Old School,” and as luck would have it, features a tale from Old 97’s guitarist Ken Bethea. Go to Union Bear after for a late dinner and drinks.
Over in Fair Park, the Dallas Summer Musicals starts its run of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert tonight. It’s a campy and colorful riff on the movie, and you already know most of the songs. Two drag queens, Tick/Mitzi and Adam/Felicia, and an aging transsexual, Bernadette, land a gig in the middle of the Australian desert. The trio has been together for awhile, performing a glittery stage act that consists of piling on the make up and lip-syncing to Madonna and Cyndi Lauper. Bernadette is getting tired, but when Tick and Adam pick up the show at a remote resort, she decides to hop on their lavender bus for one last hurrah. Not a bad way to spend a Tuesday evening. And since I’ve only peeked inside Craft and Growler (it was so close to closing time, I would have felt like a jerk if I went in), that’s a good option for socializing before the show.
