Rah, Rah
Typically, raffle tickets cost a buck or two and come in the form of little stubs. Tonight at the Brick (1727 McGee, 816-421-1634), a necklace is a raffle ticket, and it costs a kiss. As folks stream through the door for a night of drag, dramatic readings, puppetry and music, they can kiss a photo of the local performance art collaborative Rah! Booty. Member Megan Mantia says raffle winners get “a prize that has to do with beauty, which is the center of our religion.” They call that RAHligion, a way of life that the radical cheerleaders dreamed up and put in a book, which they’ll sell at the show. “It’s about the way that people worship beauty and the really superficial parts of our society,” Mantia explains. Tonight’s festivities also promise performances by special guests, including Ssion singer Cody Critcheloe. Admission costs $5.
