Carterton School and Carterton AFC present the ultimate night of fundraising. On August the 11th PLAYGIRLS CABARET and QUEENS FOR A CAUSE combine to produce an entertaining evening of fun, glamour and fundraising at the Carterton Event Centre: Queens & Trucks!
Playgirls Cabaret comprises New Zealand and Australian drag royalty with over eight decades of experience on international stages, guaranteed to entertain and leave the audience wanting more.
The Drag Queens will be mingling with guests as they dine and strike up a rapport and a few giggles while also posing for the occasional selfie. And best of all, all money raised supports Carterton School in sending kids to the snow this year and Carterton AFC in their major renovations. In between shows, local food trucks will be available to tantalise the taste buds with the best fare the Wairarapa has to offer.
Your hostess for the evening is one of New Zealand’s greatest Drag superstars, The Divine Miss Joanne Clarke, who can’t wait to entertain the crowd with her wit and style as she celebrates over 40 years as an entertainer. Come and enjoy this veteran of the stage with her fellow stars while they bring the audience an evening of fabulous fun, big hair, big gowns and you guessed it…big shoes!
Joanne will also be introducing the audience to Mia Slapper, Chai and local drag celebrity Dawn Breaker!
A Carterton rate payer herself, Dawn started her career in British bright lights as a wee lass but was deported to the colonies, where she lied about her past and was given stage time at clubs across Australasia. Now she’s on top of the world living life as a former Miss Drag Wellington, who enjoys fast cars, big mack trucks and long walks along Chester Road.
The Carterton Events Centre greatly values its rainbow community and believe that bringing queer artists to perform in our venue, to tell their stories and be utterly fabulous is important mahi, and one we want to encourage in this inclusive age.
