Drag Me to the Movies - Queer Prom Edition
Presenting: Grease 2 (1982)
Spring has finally arrived and what better way to celebrate the changing of seasons than with a little spring formal? That's right gather your tiaras, gowns, suits and sashes because this April we're hosting a little spring formal of our own: Queer Prom Night!
We'll be screening a high school camp classic, Grease 2, a perfect compliment to your wildest Prom Night fantasies. Drag Me to the Movies creator Weird Alice will be here once more with special guest Smokey Waters!
Didn't make it to our last event & are thinking to yourself "What is Drag Me to the Movies?" Why, it's only the best way to view a film! There will be drag performances, movie bingo, a mini vendor market, bingo prizes, hilarious commentary, beer from Annex Ale Project, cocktails from Sugar Water, and of course, a fabulous campy movie to enjoy!

About the host:
Comprised mostly of TV static and a faint memory of late-night feverish movie viewing, Weird Alice is an award-winning queer camp drag artist and film aficionado, and host/curator of the monthly interactive screening series Drag Me to the Movies. They are also the programmer for other film series including Sleaze Factory, and Evil Women. Weird Alice combines their art and love of cinema to take you on journeys of pastiche, queer kitsch, and anything in poor taste.
