CalendarPick-BoybutanteBroadway.jpg

It’s that time of year, Miss Thing! Get yourself man-scaped and party-draped, ‘cuz it’s Boyball time, when all of Athens’ loveliest cross-dressers strut, dance and lip-sync to raise money for AIDS Athens. This year’s theme is “One Miss-Thingular Sensation,” a campy send-up of all of your Broadway faves. Boyball week kicks off Wednesday, Apr. 10 with Drag Bingo at the Melting Point and continues on Thursday, Apr. 11 with the Drag Search/Dance Party with celebrity judges at Little Kings. Saturday is the big show. Sunday, Apr. 14 is the traditional day-after Drag Brunch at Farm 255 for all those weary party boys and girls. Mark your calendars, y’all!
