I cannot seem to go more than one night these days without someone asking me if I have seen RuPaul's Drag Race. And with the show in its 6th season (and with season seven ordered up after a record 1,000,000 likes to the question if it should return or not), you would think that I would have seen it. But I have not.
What I can say I have seen is plenty of local acts over the years since I stumbled in a club one night when the majority of the bars in the city central were gay bars.
On Sunday, PowerDiva Productions, who has been producing shows all over our state, will present the 10th annual Miss Amateur PowerDiva at the popular dance spot Rumors Nightclub.
Unlike other pageants that PowerDiva hosts, this one is for newcomers, so it is always a thrilling night since many of the people competing have never performed in front of a live audience of this size.
And if you have wanted to release your inner drag queen or king, then all you really need to do is select a stage name, plop down a $40 entry fee and not have won any crowns or held any previous titles in your career. You can apply
here.
There is even prize money waiting for you should you be crowned the winner. And unlike that old saying that you can be queen for a day, with a PowerDiva win, you are queen for the whole dang year. Snaps.
You can reserve a table by calling Rumors at 616-454-8720.
See you on the stage. Chante, chante, chante, walk this way.
Admission: $7 (21+) / $10 (18+)
