Think you’ve seen it all at a drag king show? A Sordid Collective will present something decidedly different with The Lola Project, which is being called ‘a rhapsodic tale of tangled desire.’ The showings will take place Nov. 16-18 at 8 p.m. at the HotHouse, 31 E. Balbo.

The unique musical spectacle invites you to trace the story of 10 feisty characters who push against societal boundaries on their own desires. Keeping a beat to a campy, steamy rhythm, The Lola Project unearths themes of class, race privilege and gender identity in the industrialized culture of early 20th-century Chicago.

Tickets are $15 for general admission ($12 students/seniors).
