Tantrums & Tiaras
February 2021
Tantrums & Tiaras is an event like no other! A high-quality spoof of beauty pageants complete with extravagant costumes, divine “ladies”, and a “talent” showcase. Local companies sponsor male contestants, none of whom have any pageant experience, as they compete to be crowned the next community Queen! In collaboration with Mo’s Universe Group, it’s an evening of wigs, glitter, and hilarity, all for a great cause! Join the fun and cheer for your local favorites. Proceeds benefit theprograms and services of The Center.
