*∘✧ ALSO INCLUDED WITH ADMISSION ✧∘*

Camp meets combat as the Hellmouth erupts with glitter in Drag Me to Sunnydale, a Buffy-inspired supernatural drag spectacular. 


Cheer, dance, sing along, (and tip!) as our talented performers slay the night with exhilarating Buffy-specific music and dance numbers in a slayer-iffic show hosted by our captivating friend Skirt.

Fuel for Slayers, Scoobies, and Civilians

Every ticket includes one non-alcoholic drink and one snack, so you’re fully fueled to slay on the dance floor or take the mic.

Additional snacks and drinks will be available to purchase at our concession stand or our cash bar

(serving beer and wine to those 21+).
