The Tradition with Extra Sparkle from Our Best Season Ever!
Every Thanksgiving weekend, Dayton’s most fabulous tradition struts back into the spotlight! The Rubi Girls—your favorite comedy drag troupe with hearts as big as their wigs—are here to remind us all that sequins heal, laughter saves, and camp is a cure-all.
What started as a fearless group of gay men performing in the conservative Midwest has grown into a coast-to-coast sensation, raising millions for HIV/AIDS research and education. Now, they’re back home, ready to razzle, dazzle, and bedazzle you into the holiday spirit.
----
What to Expect
• Outrageous comedy that’ll make Grandma blush (but she’ll still laugh).
• Risqué routines with just the right amount of naughty.
• Outfits so over-the-top they need their own zip codes.
• All the sass, sparkle, and side-splitting fun you can handle.
This isn’t just a show—it’s a Dayton rite of passage. And honey, it always sells out.
----
The Fine Print (in rhinestones, of course)
• Must be 21+ to attend (with valid ID).
• Tickets vanish faster than glitter in a windstorm.
