Holiday Shows To Check Out #2: The Return of Dina Martina

November 20, 2023• byMichael Strangeways

She’s baaaaaaaack and still out of this world…it’s the seasonal return of beloved living legend/saint Ms DINA MARTINA to ACT Theatre for the latest installment of her annual Xmas holiday show originally produced at the much missed Re-bar Place. The Queen of Performance Art Meta Drag, the one of a kind star will begin performances at ACT on Friday December 8th and running every weekend through Christmas Eve.

And, once again along for the ride, accompanist/former child prodigy Chris Jeffries. The loose lipped sidekick is always a gossipy delight for every edition of the Dina Martina Holiday Extravaganza!

If you’re in the New York City Metro area, you can get your holidays started THIS week with Dina debuting her holiday show at Sony Hall on Friday the 24th with TWO shows, at 7:30pm and 10:30pm and one show on Saturday the 25th. Go to https://sonyhall.com/events/dina-martina/?id=16610 for tix!

If you enjoy Dina merchandise, she has four delightful stocking stuffers to choose from at her website: https://dinamartina.com/merch/

More hyperbole about this year’s Pageant of Cheer!

Join us this holiday season as Dina Martina returns to ACT Contemporary Theatre with her annual Christmas show, a beloved Seattle tradition for over 25 years. Accompanied by award-winning composer/musician/adult prodigy Chris Jeffries, Dina Martina brings a mix of traditional and contemporary holiday tunes, treated with her undeniably surreal comic sensibility.

Since 1989, Miss Martina has been packing houses throughout the U.S., Canada and the U.K. and has shared the bill with Margaret Cho, Alan Cumming, Justin Vivian Bond, and Bridget Everett. She has received The Stranger Genius Award for Theater, two Seattle Times Footlight Awards, a nomination for The Alpert Award for Theater, and two nominations for GLAAD Media Awards for Outstanding Off-Off Broadway Show.

Bring your friends and family to the most ferocious holiday show in Seattle. This hysterically funny show is not to be missed!
