BRATTLEBORO — Brattleboro Museum & Art Center (BMAC) will be the setting for “Royal Flush: A Drag Queen (and King) Valentine's Day Party,” presented in collaboration with The Harral Show, on Feb. 14.
Led by Brattleboro native Harral Hamilton, The Harral Show is a collection of Brattleboro-area theatrical talent committed to showcasing alternative, experimental, and original performances.
Best known for his turn as Hedwig in “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” at Headroom Stages in 2011, Hamilton will serve as host as BMAC's Kahn-Mason Gallery is transformed into the Double Deuce Lounge and the stage is filled with Killer Queens, Goblin Kings, and local talent.
Performers Candi Schtick and Lavie Putain will take turns at the mic, as will the likenesses of David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, the Mona Lisa, and other “glittering goddesses and steamy kings decked out in their finest,” according to a news release from the museum. “Join them in drag if you wish,” the museum writes.
The evening will feature live cabaret performances, a dessert buffet, and a cash bar by Windham Wines.
