Editor’s Pick: Special Agent Galactica’s Rapture
Local drag phenom Galactica, a.k.a. the “pink-haired diva,” will sing — not lip-synch — at her latest cabaret-style show “Rapture!” A live band, the Escape Pods, led by musical director Captain Satellite accompanies Galactica through a hodge-podge of songs by Peggy Lee, the Rolling Stones, Dolly Parton, No Doubt, Harold Arlen, even Captain and Tennille, all framed by an interplanetary narrative that references Judgment Day, which some believe will happen this Saturday. It’s billed as “the only show of its kind in the Washington, D.C. area,” and it’s hard to argue that. Friday, May 20, and Saturday, May 21, at 8 p.m. Black Fox Lounge, 1723 Connecticut Ave. NW. Tickets are $15. Call 202-483-1723 or visit ganymedearts.org or blackfoxlounge.com.
