When you think of the
upcoming elections for president, and the candidates, you might find yourself
in a pickle. Selecting between a sweet gherkin or a kosher dill is an easy
matter, but the presidential race is littered with decisions a delicatessen
doesn’t prepare you for making.
Enter the drag queens and
beauty shop quartet Kinsey Sicks to the rescue. They want you to vote, probably as often as possible, and
they don’t mind going the extra yard or mile to get you to the voting booth.
For one night only, Saturday,
October 13 at 8 p.m., this highly unusual foursome, probably draped in red,
white and blue, will be parading politically, but not necessarily correctly, on
stage of the Annex Club, 554 Woodward Avenue, New Haven as a fundraiser for the
Connecticut Gay Men’s Chorus.
Hitting the campaign trail in
knee high boots and fashion finery, these “ladies” will sharpen their incisors
on the timely matters at stake in Washington, D.C. Nothing will be sacred as they satire and sing about today’s
political arena, and there will be no referees in sight.
Spouting original material
like “Sell the Poor,” “Eliminate the Schools” and their campaign anthem “Vote
for Me (I’m Not from Kenya),” they will present their show “Electile
Dysfunction,” still hot from their recent tour stop in Tampa at the Republican
Convention.
These divas in drag will call
upon four-part harmony to serenade about such pressing issues as immigration, unemployment,
education, scandal and corruption, all while waving the American flag.
For tickets ($30, table with
reserved seating $40), call the CGMC at 800-644-2462 or online at www.ctgmc.org. A cash bar and food will be available on site. Please don’t bring in any outside food
or drink.
Some hear “Rachel” (Ben
Schatz), “Winnie” (Irwin Keller), “Trixie”: (Jeff Manabat) and “Trampolina”
(Spencer Brown) rhapsodize in four-part harmony about who to vote for in
November.
