Sooooooo, Sensible Theatre Company is Seattle’s newest queer theater company and they’re already hard at work on their first full stage production, PAGEANT, the hilarious drag beauty pageant spoof/musical which debuts June 15th at ACT Theatre (tix here!)

Sensible co-founders/actors/producers Paul Flanagan and Jared Michael Brown got me drunk the other day at Solo Bar on Roy Street (all it took a was a sangria and some bacon wrapped dates; I’m a cheap date) and filled me in on some of the poo on the show, which just announced their fabulous cast, as well as their final big fundraiser for Sensible and Pageant…it’s the SENSIBLE DEBUTANTE BALL and it’s happening this coming Monday, May 21st at Fred Wildlife Refuge on Capitol Hill.

Yes, I know it’s a MONDAY but so many of you complain there’s NOTHING to do on a Monday in Gay Seattle (well…karaoke) and now you have a hella fun event that’s only $20 (that’s a movie with a tiny drink or a ticket to a meh local drag show…)!!!

Here’s more poo…it IS a Debutante Ball so DRESS UP! You don’t have to put on a dress, make up and heels, but we know you got some cray cray fun costume stuff crammed in your closet…a cape and hat with a snazzy tie. A glittery pair of disco shorts. A rhinestone studded jockstrap or bra. Or both.

BE CREATIVE! GAYS INVENTED THIS STUFF!!! BUY TIX FOR THE BALL HERE!!!!!

Da poo:

May 22nd is our first day of rehearsal for the cast of PAGEANT.
So, May 21st: We Let Loose and have a massive party.

Instead of staying in on a Monday nigh and wondering what you’re doing with your life:
