Get ready for a glittery, glamorous, and downright jolly night out this holiday season! Santa Maria Civic Theatre is partnering with Mirame Entertainment to bring you “NAUGHTY OR NICE: A Holiday Drag Ball” on Friday, December 6, 2024. This festive extravaganza is set to light up the stage at 1660 N McClelland St, Santa Maria, just a short 10-minute drive from Orcutt, California.
A Festive Feast for the Senses
Picture this: it’s a chilly December evening, and you’re all bundled up, ready for some holiday cheer. But forget about your typical carol singers and Santa meet-and-greets. This isn’t your grandma’s Christmas party (unless your grandma is incredibly cool, in which case, she’s probably already got tickets).
From 6:00 PM, the doors of Santa Maria Civic Theatre swing open for a pre-show reception. It’s your chance to mingle, jingle, and get into the spirit before the main event. Grab a drink, chat with fellow revelers, and maybe even practice your runway walk – you’ll need it later!
Drag Queens Sleighing the Game
At 7:00 PM sharp, prepare for liftoff as the show begins. Professional drag queens will take to the stage, ready to serve looks fiercer than Jack Frost’s bite and performances more magical than Santa’s workshop.
These queens aren’t just pretty faces (though they’re certainly that too). They’re bringing vocal talents that would make Mariah Carey do a double-take. Expect classic holiday tunes with a twist, modern pop hits with a festive makeover, and maybe even some original numbers that’ll have you saying, “All I Want for Christmas Is You… to perform that again!”
Surprises Under the Tree
But wait, there’s more! The organizers are promising special surprise performances throughout the night. What could they be? A drag king Rudolph? A lip-sync battle between Mrs. Claus and the Grinch? A vogueing competition between elves? The only way to find out is to be there!
More Than Just a Show
This isn’t just about having a good time (though you’ll certainly have plenty of that). Your ticket purchase goes towards supporting the Santa Maria Civic Theatre. So, while you’re laughing, cheering, and possibly trying to figure out how the queens walk in those heels, you’re also helping keep local theater alive and kicking.
Getting Your Jingle On
Excited? You should be! But don’t wait too long to get your tickets. Events like this sell faster than hot cocoa on a snow day. Head over to the My805Tix website to secure your spot. Prices vary, so whether you’re feeling naughty (VIP, anyone?) or nice (general admission is still a blast), you have an option.
What to Wear?
Now, the all-important question: what does one wear to a holiday drag ball? The short answer is: whatever makes you feel fabulous! Whether that’s your ugliest Christmas sweater, your sparkliest sequin dress, or a full-on Santa suit, go for it. Remember, at a drag show, there’s no such thing as “too much.”
A Night to Remember
“NAUGHTY OR NICE: A Holiday Drag Ball” promises to be the kind of event people will discuss well into the new year. It’s a chance to see your favorite holiday traditions turned on their head, to support local arts, and to laugh so hard you’ll be shaking like a bowl full of jelly.
So mark your calendars, alert your friends, and get ready for a night that’s sure to sleigh. Whether you’ve been naughty or nice this year, Santa Maria Civic Theatre has a gift for you – and it’s wrapped in sequins, topped with a wig, and ready to put on one hell of a show.
Remember, in the world of drag, it’s not about the destination but the journey… and how fabulously you strut along the way. See you at the ball!
