A CHRISTMAS STORY NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!

This December, dive into the ultimate holiday celebration of queer joy, courage, and unapologetic pride with A Drag Christmas Spectacular! Fast becoming an annual tradition – this year’s performance promises even more humor, heart, and glitter, showcasing Colorado’s top drag and queer talent in a 90+ minute whirlwind of theater, drag, and a reimagined Christmas story that only the boldest could dream up.

After an incredible debut in 2023, its second year brought in nearly 1000+ attendees, so don't hesitate to buy your tickets soon because they will sell out.

“This was such a magical and powerful show! As someone who has never really appreciated Christmas, I loved it. I hope to see it again.”-  2023 Audience Member

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

Join the unforgettable Magi—Gayspar, Belthaslay, and Melqueer—as they follow a fateful star (with a few hilarious detours along the way) to celebrate a birth that represents new hope, joy, and belonging for all.

A NEW THREAT EMERGES

But this year, our beloved Magi face their greatest challenge yet. The forces of fear have been gathering in the darkness, and a powerful celestial Villain has emerged—determined to extinguish their light and stop them from completing their sacred quest.

Will hope triumph over hatred? Will love shine brighter than fear? There's only one way to find out.

All ticket sales go to fairly compensate our amazing actors and creative team, with proceeds supporting Fierce Together's vital work in our community.

FAQs

🎄 General Questions

Q: I'm a straight ally, can I come?

A: Yes! Allies are absolutely welcome! Just remember you're entering a queer safe space - a celebration of LGBTQ+ joy and community. Come ready to celebrate, support, and have a fabulous time. Also, we suggest everyone bring some bills to tip the performers - they work hard to slay for your entertainment!

Q: Is this the same script as last year?

A: Think of it as your favorite holiday movie with a director's cut - we're returning to our beloved magi with the best of what you remember, plus exciting new twists, fresh numbers, and surprises that'll make you gag (in the best way possible). Same heart, new sparkle!

Q: Where is the show taking place?

A: At Foothills Unitarian Church, 1815 Yorktown Ave in Fort Collins. Yes, we know - it's a church! We promise no one will burst into flames when they arrive. 

Q: Who is this show appropriate for?

A: This show is designed for ages 16+ due to some adult themes, language, and references. While we celebrate chosen family of all kinds, some content explores coming out, family acceptance, and includes mild innuendo. Read our parental guide to judge if it’s right for your family. 

🎭 About the Show

Q: How long is the performance?

A: Approximately 2 hours including a 15-minute intermission. Perfect time to refresh your drink, adjust your crown, and prepare for Act 2!

Q: Is it general seating?

Yes. Unless you reserve the front row for yourself it's all general seating!

Q: Is this a religious show?

A: It's a joyful, irreverent reimagining of the nativity story that celebrates queer joy, chosen family, and the power of love and acceptance. While we use the framework of the three magi's journey, this is about community, transformation, and fabulousness - not doctrine!

Q: What should I expect?

A: Expect laughter, tears (the good kind), incredible performances, pop music lip-syncs, original monologues, and a story about finding your people and your truth. Oh, and Fear-Ah trying to ruin everything (but don't worry, love wins).
