Q-Seattle Events: Tacky Tourist Clubs

Role models

Seattle's extraordinarily entertaining drag chanteuse Lady Chablis will take on one of the demanding roles as she "and Company" offer their take on Dreamgirls this Saturday at R-Place [see map]. The show starts at 8pm in the dance space on the third floor. Cover charge is $10.

The show is a benefit for Seattle Black Pride (SBP) which will, once again, hold its [controversy-free] Black Pride celebration this July.

SBP, by the way, is a registered non-profit organization "dedicated to empowering, educating, and entertaining the Black same-gender loving community in Seattle/Tacoma." They offer social services and organize events that offer "opportunities for us as a community to be proud of our culture and sexuality while celebrating our diversity. SBP is dedicated to hosting events throughout Seattle/Tacoma for the Black Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community and our allies."
