Night of 100 Drag Queens begins

It was all fun and games Wed., October 21, for Night of 100 Drag Queens: Queens At Play. The first night of this year’s installment of Sidetrack’s annual two-night mega-drag show featured numbers by many of Chicago’s most popular queens, inspired by board games, video games, Barbies, Beanie Babies and other playthings.

Proceeds from Night of 100 Drag Queens go to benefit the many efforts of Equality Illinois. This year’s drag-stravaganza is hosted by Dixie Lynn Cartwright and Alexis Bevels, and directed by Jeff Lynch. Miller Lite is the presenting sponsor.

Night two takes place Thurs., October 22.
