This fall, Thingamajig Theatre Company created an event brand new to Pagosa Springs, and changed the social culture as we know it! Drag Queens invaded the town and brought a game night full of fun and debauchery, complete with performances that won’t be forgotten quickly. This month, Whadycallit Drag Wednesday will be held on March 9 as part of the monthly series of events at Thingamajig Theatre Company.
Resident Drag Queen Beverly hosts the night of games including Pictionary, Charades, and Art Trivia. From finishing lyrics of Broadway tunes to drawing with lipstick, this night is full of games you know with a Thingamajig twist. A competition between tables of 4, participants band together to gain as many points as possible, resulting in fun prizes. The cash bar is open all night and intermittent dance breaks keep the competitors rowdy and fun.
True to Drag entertainment style, Whadycallit Drag Wednesday wouldn’t be complete without some titillating performances. An opening number introduces the “ladies” of the night with sparkle and sass unlike any other event in Pagosa. Surprise competitions are filtered through the night to keep even returning competitors on their toes. A chance to have a wonderful time and experience something new in a traditional town, Whadycallit Drag Wednesday is an event that should be on your calendar every month.
