Grammy-Nominated NYC Studio Brings Together Drag, Music, and Impact for the LGBTQ+ Community with Holiday Brunch Party
‘The Gingerbread Haus’ at Invite Only Studios Will Feature RuPaul’s Drag Race Winner Yvie Oddly, Lana JaRae, Essa Noche and Mara For Exclusive Shows and VIP ‘Seat & Greet’
On Saturday, December 7th, Crash Dummies Production and Mara are thrilled to present “The Gingerbread Haus,” an exclusive holiday brunch celebration bringing together drag superstars, the music industry, and support for the LGTBQ+ youth of NYC at the GRAMMY® nominated Invite Only Studios. The event (tickets here) features a full drag show, brunch, a VIP “seat-and-greet” where attendees can mingle with the performers, a gingerbread cookie decorating contest, and a special performance of a song produced for this event only by music industry veterans Pat Kelly and Angelo “Doc” Velasquez.
The star-studded show will feature celebrated queens, including Yvie Oddly (winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 11), Lana JaRae, Essa Noche, and Mara. At the VIP seat-and-greet, the queens will perform a holiday song written and produced specially for this event. Music will be provided by DJ Jon Ali.
Over 100 guests with standard and premium tickets ($80 and $120 respectively) will enjoy access to Invite Only Studios’ event hall from 12:30pm to 3:00pm with a full drag show with the queens, brunch fare stations, mimosa and premium cocktail bars, and holiday activations. Attendees with VIP tickets ($200) will also have access to the professional music studio space, including a “seat-and-greet” with the queens, exclusive exhibitions and activations in the studio where legends like Mary J. Blige have recorded their latest releases.
The VIP side of the event will continue until 5:30pm with gingerbread cookie decorating – donations to The Ali Forney Center will enter attendees for the chance to have their cookie “read” by the panel of the queens – and a one-time-only debut performance of an original holiday song, specially written and produced for the occasion.
In support of the LGBTQ+ community of NYC, 10% of all tickets for “The Gingerbread Haus” will be donated to benefit The Ali Forney Center. Founded in 2002 in memory of Ali Forney, the center has since been dedicated to providing 24-hour assistance to LGBTQ+ youth in NYC, from emergency shelter and drop-in centers to transitional housing and job training. The event producers are grateful to help bring warmth, hope, and a bright future to young people in need.
The event is sponsored by Alexandra Dettori Catering & Events, Shadowbox Design Management, ACE Party Rental, Hood Eggnog, and Planet Oat.
Standard, Premium, and VIP tickets are available now here!
