About Arts & Community
![]() This summer, the Center is sending you to CAMP! But not the kind of icky outdoor camp with tents and mosquitoes - instead, we're serving up drag queens and NO WIRE HANGERS! Jump start your summer with fun, games and a celebration of the elusive queer aesthetic known simply as "camp." |

CENTER CINEMA PRESENTS BRINI MAXWELL IS BEWITCHED! Thursday, May 17, 2012 Doors Open 6:30 PM We all knew something was up at Samantha Stephens' house. It doesn’t take a Gladys Kravits to figure out that with all those outrageous relatives (is Endora really a drag queen?), that suspicious Uncle Arthur, and Sam’s twitching nose that something is queer in 1960s suburbia. Domestic diva Brini Maxwell hosts her favorite episodes of this camp sitcom classic. There may be two Darrins, but there's only one Brini!. More info >> |

Q & GAY PRESENTS DRAG! Thursday, May 24, 2012 Doors Open 6:30 PM The second installment of the Center’s live talk show that features straight talk from all ages of the LGBT community. After the huge success of our premiere episode, Sex from the 70s to Scruff, we decided to invite four drag queens and ask them every question you were too afraid to ask. No tea no shade, just four decades of queens serving it up fierce, Miss Honey! More info >> |

Contestants are selected from the audience to compete for fabulous prizes by matching our celebrity panel’s answers to fill-in-the-blank questions. Hosted by comic Ben Lerman (LOGO, hereTV), contestants try to match Frank DeCaro (Sirius Radio), Bianca Del Rio (drag queen extraordinaire), Colton Ford (former porn star and entertainer), Jackie Hoffman (Xanadu, The Addams Family), Arden Maryn (Chelsea Lately, MAD TV), and Daniel Nardicio ("The Gay Hugh Heffner" – Next Magazine). Come dressed in your best Charles Nelson Reilly drag and laugh your _BLANK_ off!. More info >> |
