Produced by Heather Spear, The Gentleman King
“Dykes Do Drag” – the title says a mouthful but not all there is to say.
Dykes Do Drag is comprised of queers of all genders and orientations, celebrating an expanding continuum of gender expression and performance in the Upper Midwest for 15 years. This edgy performance art cabaret features the Twin Cities’ best as well as newcomers in traditional Drag and burlesque, with live music, boi-lesque, modern dance, video and visual art, and lip-synching in enticing and exciting hilarity.
A few more bombastic terms to describe DDD include but are not limited to: sexy, radical, entertaining, titillating, kinky and weird. We perform 5 times a year at the Bryant-Lake Bowl!

The Story
Follow the adventures of Dorthy as a Cyclone arrives to wisk her and her dog away to the land UNDER THE RAINBOW.
Things under the rainbow are strange and beautiful as Dorthy tries to understand her blossoming feelings and that tingling sensation to get back home.
Help from the Rug Munches, the Good Bitch of the North and some memorable friends, may not be enough to escape the clutches of the Obsessive Bitch of the West!
Journey with her through forest, wood and nightclub to meet the Well Endowed Oz who everyone says can help her return home and possibly grant her new friends their goals of a brain, heart and courage!
With:
Magnolia Lace as Dorothy
TifDynamite Roberts as Glinda
Vervé LaJoy as Toto
Violet Moon as Scare Crow
Jean Luc Dicard as Tin man
Jessica Kayy as Lioness
Candlelora as Wicked Bitch of the East

Lily de Brassiere as Rug Munch
This fantastic fairy tale incorporates a variety of dance styles including Burlesque, Modern Dance, Pole Dance, Belly Dance, and More!
We accept credit cards for ticket purchases but all concession donations (popcorn, soda, WINE) must be made in cash!
Burlesque is adult dance theater performed by elaborately-costumed women (and some men) who peel off those elaborate costumes while dancing or singing or performing amazing feats! Sorry kids, Under the Rainbow is 18+ as there will be nudity and adult themes.
