Uptown Players continues its 2014 season with the return of an audience favorite, the farcical Off‐Broadway hit, Pageant.

Pageant is a pageant, but what’s glitz, glamour, poise and talent, without a five o’clock shadow? Judges selected from the audience actually vote and determine who the winner is; therefore, the winner may be different at each performance. The show takes its shots not by mocking the pageant from the outside, but by being one.

The six contestants, Miss Deep South, Miss West Coast, Miss Great Plains, Miss Bible Belt, Miss Industrial Northeast and Miss Texas (all played by men) compete in evening gown, talent, swimwear, and spokesmodel, plus the finalists answer calls from the Beauty Crisis Hotline. You won’t want to miss the hilarity as a new Miss Glamouresse 2014 is selected at each performance.
