Every act has a first time...
About this Event
Welcome to Pure Passion: Cherry Pop, Passion & Performance's official launch of the 2026–2027 performance season! This year's theme celebrates trying something new—whether that means debuting your very first act, stepping into a new performance style, collaborating with someone new, or finally bringing that idea you've been sitting on to life.
We're inviting performers from across our community to submit drag, burlesque, dance, cabaret, circus, variety, and other performance acts that embrace the spirit of firsts. Bold, funny, glamorous, heartfelt, experimental—we want to see what happens when you take a chance.
After the show, keep the celebration going at our Season Launch Party, where performers, friends, and audience members can mingle, celebrate the start of a new season, and toast to another year of unforgettable performances.
Whether you're popping your performance cherry or simply trying something you've never done before, this is your chance to kick off the season with a bang.
New season. New acts. New adventures.
