Priscilla’s Back on Campus

As many students know, StFX has held many drag shows on campus as part of Pride activities. During the Covid years, many such events were not allowed due to provincial restrictions. However, with restrictions being lifted this year, drag shows are returning to campus. Save the date, because on February 3, 2023, Priscilla, “The Queen of the Highlands,” is returning to campus for a show at the Bloomfield Centre.

As part of a series of Pride events, Priscilla will be performing in the MacKay Room of the SUB. Though Priscilla is the headliner, the show will feature performances by Cleah Cruise, Elle Noir, Regina Fierce, Richard Rockhard, Mike Hunt, Nico Teen, Rosie Cheeks, Rhea Listique, Shayla Shenannigans, Rhett Slutter, and Nate Tuff. The event’s host will be Rouge Fatale. The group of performers are considered “East Coast’s Best Drag.”

The drag show is open to all StFX students, regardless of age, and members of the public 19 years old and up. Students are asked to bring their student IDs as they will be checked at the door. The event will be wet/dry as per the students’ age.

Ticket sales began on January 25 and are available for purchase at the X-Pride table and the GSDA office. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door, with the possibility of purchasing a table for 8 in advance for $150. However, there are a limited quantity of tables for sale, so get yours quickly!

The event was organized by the GSDA, X-Pride, the Inn, and the Students’ Union. The drag show is sure to attract students and residents alike and will be a blast for all those who choose to attend. Let us hope the groups collaborate again throughout the year to bring us more of these amazing events!

Though Pride month at StFX may be coming to a close, let us continue to organize events like these year-round and build an inclusive environment at the university beyond the month.
