Sister Helen Holy preaches the gospel of Legacy
Brothers and sisters, you are sinners! Mortal sinners! I saw you: Wearing white before Memorial Day! But salvation is at hand, courtesy of Sister Helen Holy of the First Southern Fried Self-Satisfied Baptist Church. The judgmental but hilarious church lady will share her twisted gospel during the Live Christian Broadcast, a “701 Club” tent revival that benefits legacy Counseling Center and Founders Cottage. Be saved, and save someone else at the same time — can I get an “Amen”?

Coy Covington dresses for success in ‘The Tribute Artist’
If you’ve seen Coy Covington in a Charles Busch play, you know he always plays a woman. Well, here’s a twist: This time, Covington is playing a man dressed as a woman… a drag queen who stays in character so that he can keep the cheap apartment owned by his now-deceased landlady. Hilarity ensues. B.J. Cleveland directs The Tribute Artist, the last show of Uptown Players’ 2016-17 season.

MOMIX returns with its hypnotic take on modern dance
Anyone who has ever seen the celebrated dance company MOMIX perform will not have forgotten it… even if they didn’t understand it.
