Weekends and pool parties go together like vodka and soda. Movie theaters and popcorn. Power tops and submissive bottoms. But sometimes, we can’t wait for Friday to roll around to go off the deep end. Thankfully, Lee Harvey’s Dive In understands that sentiment and returns with the August edition of its queer pool party series. Summer House- Feel the Heat […]
Long before the b of the raunchy, animated Netflix delight, Big Mouth, teens were dealing with lustful feelings aplenty. With glorious music by Duncan Sheik and powerful words by Steven Sater, no less. We’re talking, of course, about the eight-time Tony Award-winning Spring Awakening, which made its Broadway debut in 2006. Twenty years later, Theatre Three in Dallas brings the […]
We love a good striptease. Emphasis on the tease. Nothing quite compares to a bawdy burlesque show for a night of T&A-fueled entertainment. Even though we’re not personally into tits and ass quite the same way as some men, burlesque performers have always been our kind of people. This weekend, one local troupe hits a major milestone. The Lollie Bombs […]

Breakout star and early favorite Jane Don’t had placed in the top for 10 consecutive challenges, including three wins. However, after her first and only appearance in the bottom two, […]
Back in the 1950s, double features were commonplace at drive-in theaters. (Pretty sure our sister was conceived during the final act of Plan 9 from Outer Space). Well, flash forward 70ish years, and Uptown Players has a double feature of sorts in store for audiences. Though you’ll have to pay for two shows and see them on different days, it’s […]
What’s your go-to karaoke song? If you answered that quickly, you likely have the chops to command a room with your singing, good or bad. But if it’s good, you also have the chance to compete for $5,000 in Las Vegas this November. First, you’ve got to get through the United States Karaoke Association (USKA) World Karaoke Cup Qualifier rounds. […]
Longtime fans know the name: Janelle Farias Sando. Or perhaps Janelle Lutz, as she was known back in her Uptown Players heyday. The wildly gifted entertainer brought Judy Garland to life for the first time in The Boy from Oz, End of the Rainbow and A Very Judy Christmas from 2014-2018, a few magical years of music. Sando has since […]
You know what they say: A picture’s worth a thousand drag queens. Or a thousand Halloween block parties. Perhaps a thousand Pride parades. For the second time this year, Badge of Pride, The Dallas Way, Dallas Social Queer Organization (DSQO), and Coalition for Aging LGBT join forces to collect photos, newspaper clippings and other memorabilia that capture the history of […]
