About this Event

It's the hap-happiest season of all!
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings...

This gay happy meeting includes unwrapped burlesquers, drag royalty reigning over the Christmas village, 5 golden rings to rule them all, a blushworthy silent auction, and a nutcracker with an orphan card!

Christmas comraderie with chosen family to benefit .

Trans Lifeline is a national trans-led 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to improving the quality of trans lives by responding to the critical needs of the community with direct service, material support, advocacy, and education. Their vision is to fight the epidemic of trans suicide and improve the overall life outcomes of trans people by facilitating justice-oriented, collective community aid.


Want to support the cause but can't attend the show? Select "Donation"! Any amount is welcome and increments of $25 will be used to sponsor seats. BIPOC will have priority as seat recipients.


Newport Theater is a block from both Northalsted (formerly Boystown) and Wrigleyville! Within walking distance of the Addison Red Line, Belmont Brown Line, and off a Clark Street bus stop.

Please be advised:

Our venue is up a flight of stairs (no elevator, but there is a private entrance with a railing) and has two all-gender single-stall restrooms onsite. Email us with any accessibility/entry questions at [email protected]
