Pageant, written by two-time Tony nominee Bill Russell, Frank Kelly, and Seattle’s very own Albert Evans, debuted Off-Broadway in 1991 at the Blue Angel in New York and puts a high-heeled drag-spin on the competitive pageant scene. The show takes the audience on a fabulous adventure into the timeless world of the Miss Glamouresse Beauty Pageant. Audiences will cheer for their favorites that include Miss West Coast, Miss Great Plains, Miss Industrial Northeast, Miss Bible Belt, Miss Texas, and Miss Deep South.

Casting TBA

A Sensible Theatre Company began two years ago, after its co-founders Jared Michael Brown & Paul Flanagan were out one night feeling their fantasies on Capitol Hill in Seattle.

Jared – “Omigod, what if we just surrounded ourselves with these fierce drag queens and  insanely talented queer AF artists all the time?!”
Paul – “YAS. Just do queer content. All. The. Time.”
Jared –  “Omigod, Exclusively queer.”
Paul  – “Sensible, what should we call it?”
Jared – “A Sensible Theatre Co.”
Paul – “CUTE!”
