Studio 45 Live: Disco Transcendence: Revival!

Step into Studio 45 Live...
When you walk through those doors, you're entering another world where everyone is totally free.
One year ago, we opened those doors for the first time with a show called Disco Transcendence. So for our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY, we're bringing it back, bigger, sweatier, and with twelve months of practice behind us.
Studio 54 was a sanctuary. For a few years in the 70s, queers, freaks, and outcasts walked past the velvet rope into a room where they were not just tolerated but celebrated! Disco was the sound of that liberation, and it still is. Join us for a celebration of that legacy with all the glitter, fierce energy, and radical joy we can muster.
Co-hosted by Velvet Divine and Just Joey, back together after a summer apart, which is definitely fine and definitely will not become everyone's problem over the course of the evening. 😏
Featuring incredible performances by:
👑 ALuxx Turned-Her (drag)
🔮 Strega Celestina (draglesque)
🎶 Juniper Sweeney (music)
...and more to be announced!
THE VIBE:
Studio 45 Live is a queer disco variety show in the style of a 70s TV variety hour. Think Sonny & Cher, Carol Burnett, and Laugh-In, but queerer than your wildest dreams. Expect host comedy bits, a live announcer, audience participation, incredible performers, and a storyline between your hosts that unfolds across the night. Every show has a new theme, a new co-host dynamic, and a new reason to dance.
This is your invitation to experience disco transcendence: a sanctuary where queer energy fills the room, where chosen family gathers, and where we transform the night through connection.
DRESS CODE: Studio 54 realness! Think 70s glamour, disco ball accessories, sequins, platforms, and anything that makes you feel like the star you are.

"Disco was a haven for inclusion and acceptance... as soon as they stepped foot into the disco they were safe and not only were they safe but they were included, they were accepted, they were part of the scene."
See you on the floor. 🪩
