Drag Racer Alaska serves it up at The Brick
Second Saturday at The Brick means drag fabulousness, and you can’t get more fab than Alaska Thunderfuck, the runner-up for Season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. The quick-witted queen, who combines glamour with a sassy screw-you attitude, will headline the event, which will be hosted by M.C. Nicole O’Hara Munro and feature a performance by G Licious “G.” There will be a red carpet, meet-and-greet and even a photo shoot right after the show. A portion of proceeds will go to benefit Sugarstix LifeWalk team.

Lady Gaga performs at AAC
What does one need to say to a gay person to suggest they attend a Lady Gaga concert other than, “She’s here, on this date, and she’s the new generation’s Madonna.” OK, maybe you need a little bit more, like knowing her ArtPOP Ball Tour comes to American Airlines Center Thursday. If you don’t already have tickets, well, aren’t you naughty little monsters.

Festival of Independent Theatres returns to Bath House
Don’t get out out enough to the theater? You can make up for it all in one fell swoop with the return of the annual Festival of Independent Theaters, with eight companies offering up their one-act productions of fringe-fest-ish plays, from breezy comedies to brooding dramas and all points in between. The festival runs four weekends, so you can consume as much theater as you want in record time. Pictured: Austin Tindle, last seen as the troubled gay son in Uptown Players’ The Lyons, plays the first man and Catherine DeBord is Eve in WingSpan’s The Diaries of Adam & Eve, based on a Mark Twain story.
DEETS:
Bath House Cutural Center
521 E. Lawther Drive.
July 11–Aug. 2. $20–$73 (full festival pass).
