Is it possible for there to be too much glitter? We think not, but it will surely be put to the test next weekend. Two of the Northwest’s most ambitious drag queens are presenting full length shows that blend dance, drag, comedy, blistering soundscapes, and utter hijinkx … with wigs the size of Volkswagons.

Kaj-Anne Pepper started out as the youngest member of the infamous performance art drag troupe Sissy Boy in the mid-aughts. He’s since matured into Portland’s youngest grand dame, hosting TBA’s hugely popular Critical Mascara Drag Ball. He also does club nights across town. His show is called “D.I.V.A. Practice” and runs Apr. 29–May 1 at New Expressive Works: http://kpepper.net/.

When Seattle’s alt weekly The Stranger gave a Genius Award last year to Cherdonna Shinatra, the paper characterized her as an “uncategorizable spectacle.” Cherdonna is the alter ego of dancer Jody Keuhner, who will bring the show “Worth My Salt” to Portland Center Stage from Apr. 29–May 1: http://risk-reward.org/upcoming/cherdonna-shinatra/

Producer Aaron Scott began by asking Keuhner how, as a biological woman, she got her start as a drag queen.
