Divas & Drinks – & Drag! – at The Academy

Where are the women in the Castro? Right here at Divas & Drinks! 

Join us for the latest edition of this monthly event for women, their friends, and allies, co-presented with the San Francisco Bay Times.

This month, we are celebrating the return of Sunday's a Drag with Tributes to Tina Turner, Cher & More. Plus ... a groundbreaking DJ and a history-making cookie!

Just days before the return of Sunday's a Drag—at Club Fugazi in August—hostess Donna Sachet will present eleganza extravaganza performances by her and Christina Ashton paying tribute to Tina Turner, Cher, and other music greats.

And the music won't end there. Pioneering DJ Page Hodel—the first woman mixer on major market radio and who hosts JOYride at the historic White Horse Bar in Oakland—will be in the house! Don't miss this rare chance to see her turntable mastery in an intimate San Francisco venue.

The talented bakers at Hot Cookie will also reveal the first-ever Hot Cookie named after a living legend: the First Lady of the Castro, Donna Sachet! (All other such VIPs were recognized posthumously.) Dykes on Bikes, the Bacardí Team, and more will additionally be there.

Legendary DJ Page Hodel, presented by Olivia, and piano bar ace Dr. Dee Spencer will bring music to your ears. So get rolling, rolling, rolling to The Academy on July 28!
