The Portland Punk Princess Pageant

The Portland Punk Princess Pageant is a "Drag", fantasy anti-competition for local folklore and urban legends!

Six "drag" "princesses" will share stories over three nights -

season 2

The Contestants must earn Jewels for their crowns by completing challenges called Jewel Quests.

Jewel Quests are all based on elements of performance art and drag production. These are all skills that COULD prove useful to any performer!

Contestants may earn up to 4 Jewels per night - 3 Jewels per performance and 1 Behind the Scenes Jewel per night

For The Middle - the producers will assign 1 Jewel Quest to each contestant!

For The End - the contestants must repeat a Jewel Quest and do it BETTER!

EVERY contestant with at least 9 Jewels when the clock strikes 11pm on the third night WINS

The winnings include:

A handmade trophy!

$50 cash prize

Contestants will each be paid $100 (+cash tips) for each show, GUARANTEED BASE PAY

Donations collected at the door will be pooled across all 3 nights and dispersed equitably after expenses (read further for more info on our budget)

Budget Breakdown

1 stage hand x 3 nights x $50 each = $150

2 ASL Interpreters x 3 nights x $100 each = $600

COMBINED TOTAL COST = $4856

Earning Goals

Projected revenue :

$200 donations/door sales (based on donations from Season 1) x 3 nights = $600

Confirmed revenue:

Grant funding from the Regional Arts and Culture Council (City of Portland tax dollars) = $4000

Current Profit Estimate:

Combined total cost of $4856 - Total Projected Revenue of $4600 = -$256

What we don't make to cover our budget comes from Producer Pay and Tech Operator Pay (note: our tech operator is also a producer and trying to get paid for two jobs)

We the producers (Helen of Boy, Clare Apparently, and BeElzzabub Doll) will hold the funds collected from the door until the end of the 3rd show.

Payment for performers, guest judges, tip collector, stage hand, and ASL interpreters will be dispensed from the collected RACC Grant Fund, in cash, immediately upon completion of each show.

Producers shall receive half pay on the night of each show. Our Tech Operator will take $30 from the door each night.

When the third show has concluded, all door funds shall be evaluated and dispensed.

Expenses covered by pooled donations:

$30 to pay for our music licensing fees

remaining wages of the Tech Person ($150)

then the Producers ($450).

Funds remaining after these expenses are Profit.

Profit will be divided into portions to be dispersed to contestants, guest judges, crew, interpreters, producers, and tech operator based on involvement, equaling 1 share per position per night.

18 contestant shares + 4 guest judge shares + 6 crew shares + 6 interpreter shares + 9 producer shares + 3 tech operator shares= 46 shares
