HVZ and OutReach Madison have paired up to provide guests with an exciting evening at HVZ celebrating the joy of living life authentically. Doors will open at 5:30pm. The drag show starts at 6:15 p.m. We have tripled the number of bar stations for this event this year so the lines should be much shorter! 

General Admission tickets include a single seat (folding chair provided) in a pre-determined section. Lawn Seats are for guests bringing lawn chairs or blankets to sit on during the show. We will have a separate section for lawn chairs and blankets. VIP tables are available for groups of up to 8 and included reserved seating and admission for up to 8 people.

We will have an area for accessible seating and offer some sensory processing tools free of charge to guests who need them.

We require all guests to be 21+ for this event and to provide an I.D. for entry.
