  • Q Presents: Strike a Pose

    Q Presents: Strike a Pose

    It’s Vogue’s release anniversary, so obviously we’re throwing a party about it.

    Q: Strike a Pose is our Madonna night at Orchid Theatre—part dance party, part runway, all hits. Pull up for iconic eras, big pop moments, and the kind of energy that makes you feel like you’re in a music video. We’ve got DJs, drag, dancers, impersonators, and photo moments, and the only requirement is that you show up ready to serve.

    Come dressed as your favorite Madonna—or come as your hottest self.
    Friday, March 20 • 9PM–2AM • 21+
