When drag queen Anthony (Hugo Weaving) agrees to take his act on the road, he invites Adam (Guy Pearce) and Bernadette (Terence Stamp) to come along. In their colorful bus, named Priscilla, the three performers travel across the Australian desert performing for enthusiastic crowds and homophobic locals. But their friendship is tested when Adam and Bernadette learn that Anthony has sold the rights of their story to Hollywood for a remake starring Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes.

Known as the Rubenesque Royale of Burlesque, Queenie von Curves is producer of Bare Book Club Minneapolis, director of Dr. Sketchy's Minneapolis, dance instructor/creator of Dance for EVERY Body, body impression painter under The Curvy Canvas, and cast member of Black Hearts Burlesque. With her unorthodox style of striptease, cheeky sensuality, and clever costuming, it's no wonder the Quintessence of Curves and Quirk has been entertaining audiences across the country, celebrating her bat mitzvah this year with 13 years in the biz! A resident of South Minneapolis and a lifelong Queer artist through dance, theater and burlesque, she’s so excited to be making her Parkway Theater debut!
