AAWAZ IS BACK — AND THIS ONE'S FOR NEPAL: A KalaKranti Production

Come vibe with us for a night of drag, Bollywood dance, poetry, live music, and unfiltered queer expression.

Curated by Ankit Khadgi, Aawaz returns, but this time every bit of it goes toward something bigger. We are raising funds for Nepali families hit hard by the recent floods, and 100% of proceeds go straight to them.

Watch the lineup. Grab a drink. And if the mic calls your name, we have got open slots for impromptu performances too.

Presale tickets are a sliding scale $10-20 and will be $20 at the door.

Doors at 6pm and performances begin at 7pm. Dorothy remains open after the event until 11pm.

Dorothy is 21+ and requires physical or mobile ID for all to enter. Dorothy is also ADA accessible with elevator access on Campbell Ave. If you are a guest who requires elevator access, please wait by the black door with our logo in the window and call our staff to assist: 773-770-3799

Please note: refund requests are only available until 24h before the show (9/19, 7pm). No other refund requests will be honored.
