BOYLESQUE DRAG

Here are four of our favorite adult-only Halloween happenings planned for this year.

Several organizations including the Ann Arbor District Library and Ann Arbor YMCA have put together events in recognition of the month.

Here’s where you can have a hauntingly good time around Ann Arbor.

Between Friday, Oct. 29, and Sunday, Oct. 31, the Boylesque Drag will perform at three in-person events around Washtenaw County.

On Friday, Boylesque Drag returning to in-person shows with a drag bingo fundraiser at Conor O’Neill’s after a year-and-half of online performances

Fundraising isn’t new for the drag troupe, which has been regularly hosting benefit shows for many years, but performing online is. Since then, the group has done over 150 virtual shows. (Austin Moan / Boylesque)Boylesque’s first virtual benefit show, hosted through YouTube, helped raise money for a community member with Multiple sclerosis. Boylesque is the only group to do virtual shows at least three nights a week, according to Black. Over the course of the past 10 months, Boylesque has done themed shows for holidays, monthly benefit shows for Ypsilanti Meals on Wheels and shows for political causes.
