ADAMS, Mass. — The Adams Theater will present the Majesty of the Berkshires Pride Pageant on June 2.

 

The event is set to kick off Pride Month in the Berkshires and will feature a lineup of kings, queens, and everyone in-betweens who will take the stage to showcase drag artistry and self-expression, according to a press release.

 

Created and presented by Bella Santarella and hosted by Shawn Hollenbach, the night's festivities will include a competition, with the winner being crowned the Majesty of the Berkshires and receiving a one-year reign as the leader of the Berkshire County LGBTQIA+ community. Berkshire native and NYC-based drag queen Nancy Nogood will join as a judge, along with locals from other queer organizations in the area. 

 

Berkshire Cider Project and Big Elm Brewery will be catering the evening's beverages, and Dottie's Coffee Lounge of Pittsfield will be providing delicious food, including DRAGon bowls, a Dom Sub sandwich, and a Bear Bowl. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to secure their preferred seats and dress to impress.
