BERTHA: Grateful Drag

BERTHA: Grateful Drag brings a unique entertainment experience to Milwaukee—the world's first Grateful Dead tribute band performed entirely by drag queens. The group started in Tennessee in 2023 as a creative and spirited answer to anti-drag legislation, quickly gaining national recognition after their debut sold out and caught the attention of major publications like Rolling Stone and the San Francisco Chronicle. What began as a one-time event has evolved into a full touring collective. This show celebrates community through music and performance while supporting an important cause. It's a great choice for families with older teens and adults who appreciate live music, drag performance art, and the chance to support artists making a cultural statement. The event is presented by the Pabst Theater Group and takes place at Vivarium in Milwaukee.
