PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - Californer -- These illustrious stars all stayed at the fabulous Dunes Hotel Palm Springs. All three performances across the two nights were sold out.

John Cameron Mitchell, writer, director, and Tony Award-winning star, celebrating the 25^th anniversary of his award-winning rock movie musical "HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH," gifted the audience hats as a nod to his tour, Palm Springs Pride, and the Palm Springs Cultural Center. The event included a stunning 4K screening of the film, followed by a live Q&A, and a special mini-acoustic performance with Mitchell and guitarist Nicholas Perez. Produced by ThisMyShow Presents and presented by Chris Isaacson Presents in association with Palm Springs Cultural Center as part of a Radiant Works Program of Upright Cabaret, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Cloned from 100% authentic drag DNA, JURASSIC DRAG starred the prehistoric Dino-Divas Coco Peru, Jackie Beat, Sherry Vine, Varla Jean Merman and was hosted by stand-up comedian Roz Hernandez. Jurassic Drag is one-part musical spectacular, one-part old-fashioned variety show — Jurassic specimens impressed with stunning feats of song, dance, and um… comedy. "Dinosaurs DO still roam the earth," gasped one bewildered RuPaul's Drag Race fan — and honey, these dinosaurs devoured the stage.

Jurassic Drag is proudly presented by Chris Isaacson Presents in association with Palm Springs Cultural Center as part of a Radiant Works Program of Upright Cabaret, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

"It was a symbolic weekend of partnership, talent, and achievement, working with Jurassic Drag, John Cameron Mitchell (HEDWIG), Palm Springs Cultural Center, and The Dunes Hotel to come together to celebrate and honor Palm Springs Pride 2026," shared producer/presenter Chris Isaacson. Both shows served as official Palm Springs Pride Events.
